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.
