Backing Up and Clearing Log Files
From time to time, it may be desirable to back up log files for long term storage or to clear log files to save
space on the local storage device.
Please note that it is the user’s responsibility to be aware of record
keeping and message log requirements and ensure compliance with them.
Users may find the log files as described above by navigating to the
C:\CAPEAS\
directory on the unit’s local
storage device using an attached keyboard, display and mouse or via the network from a PC connected to
the station’s LAN (note that network access and permissions setup is required for this option). Logs may
also be accessed remotely via optional VNC interface or a KVM switch (these options may require
additional setup and/or hardware).
To backup log files, select the desired log
file and the
log
directory and copy/paste them to your desired
storage device, such as a USB jump-drive, external hard drive or network location.
To remove log files once backup copies are made, select the desired log file by left-clicking the file icon
and pressing
delete
to remove the file. Next, navigate to the
C:\CAPEAS\log\
directory. Select
Organize |
Select All
from the menu bar or press the
ctrl+A
keystroke combination to select all files within the
directory. Press the
delete
key to delete these files, answering “yes” to the dialog window when asked if
you are sure that you want to delete the selected files. If the unit has received and logged a very large
number of alerts, selection and manipulation of log entries may experience some delay.
