Configuring the event log0

The event log allows configuring the detail level at which Server of Control activities are logged.
The main event log is located in the <Intellect software installation folder>\VHost folder, in the file vsrvYYMMDD.log, where YY is the year, MM the month, and DD the day.
To configure the event log:

1. Go to the configuration pane for the Server of Control object (Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1).

1. To log auxiliary characters at the transport level, select the Auxiliary characters check box (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 1).
2. To log alarms (activation of a vibration sensor, temperature sensor, or Door-Forced-Open (DFO) sensor), select the Alarms check box (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 2).
3. To log events related to system status, select the System status check box (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 3).
4. In the Archive period (hrs.) field, enter the frequency, in hours, at which the event log is to be archived (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 4). Archives are saved in the DATA subfolder, with the following name format: namelog_yymmddhhmmss.gz, where
   1. namelog is the name of the event log being archived
   2. yy is the year of archive creation
   3. mm is the month of archive creation
   4. dd is the day of archive creation
   5. hh is the hour of archive creation
   6. mm is the minute of archive creation
   7. ss is the second of archive creation
5. In the File size (MB) field, enter the file size threshold, in megabytes, upon which the event log is archived (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 5). This setting overrides the value in the Archive frequency field.
6. In the Keep archives for (months) drop-down list, select the length of time, in months, for which you want to store archived event logs. This value must be between 1 and 24 (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 6). Archives that are older than the specified number of months are deleted.
