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.
