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

- To log auxiliary characters at the transport level, select the Auxiliary characters check box (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 1).
- 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).
- To log events related to system status, select the System status check box (see Fig. 5.3 – 5.3—1, 3).
- 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
- namelog is the name of the event log being archived
- yy is the year of archive creation
- mm is the month of archive creation
- dd is the day of archive creation
- hh is the hour of archive creation
- mm is the minute of archive creation
- ss is the second of archive creation
- 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.
- 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.
