Monitoring the Event Log
The Event Log provides useful information about events that happen in the system.
The Event Log can be filtered on:
-
Time: default is 1 month prior to the current date and time
-
Exceptions (warnings and errors): default is unchecked.
Events are sorted by data. Clicking the small blue arrow changes date order:
The Level column shows the status of data:
-
Yellow triangle: warning
-
Red circle with white cross: error
-
No icon shown: this data is informational.
The following apply to the Event Log:
-
The Event Log periodically refreshes but there is a Refresh button to pull the latest events
-
The Event Log can be exported to a .csv file
-
Clear Event Log clears current data. The data cannot be retrieved once it has been cleared
-
Event logs are not stored permanently, only events since the last power or reboot cycle are available.
