Log File Reporting

Maximum Log File Size
By default, the maximum space available to store all the log files is
10 MB. This maximum is adjustable. As the Mantis generates log
files, it compares the storage area in use against the maximum
allowed.
If the latest log file exceeds the allowed storage capacity, the
Mantis initiates an automatic cleanup process that deletes the
oldest log file(s) to free the necessary space for the newest log file.
In addition, files are deleted after they are transferred to the FTP
server or downloaded from the Mantis player.
Uploading Log Files
The Mantis offers the ability to access its log files locally.
Upload to FTP Server
On the WebView Settings Page chose
Upload Logs
and the Mantis
automatically uploads its log files to the FTP server designated in
the System Settings, FTP Auto-Update, see
FTP Auto-Update
Settings on page 88.
The name for the target directory on the server must be logfiles .
Download to Local Computer
The Media Messenger application provides the ability to download
and access the Mantis log files on a local computer. Refer to the
Media Messenger User Manual for details.
Tip
If storage space for video and graphics is an issue, set the
maximum storage capacity smaller and download the log files
more frequently.
