Chapter 10. The Log Server
121
The List Panel
The List panel contains six fields:
The Tick Panel
The lower panel displays tick information for the currently selected CN8600.
Note that if the installation contains more than one switch, even though a
switch is not currently selected, if its Recording checkbox is checked, the Log
Server records its tick information and keeps it in its database.
Field Explanation
Recording Determines whether the Log Server records log events for
this CN8600 or not. If the Recording check box is checked,
the field displays Recording, and log events are recorded. If
the Recording check box is not checked, the field displays
Paused, and log events are not recorded.
Note: Even though a CN8600 is not the currently selected
one, if its Recording check box is checked, the Log Server will
still record its log events.
Address This is the IP Address or DNS name that was given to the
CN8600 when it was added to the Log Server (see Configure,
page 117).
Port This is the port number that was assigned to the CN8600
when it was added to the Log Server (see Configure,
page 117).
Connection If the Log Server is connected to the CN8600, this field
displays Connected.
If it is not connected, this field displays Waiting. This means
that the Log Server's MAC address and/or port number has
not been set properly. It needs to be set in the ANMS settings
(see page 35) and specified in the Configure dialog box (see
Configure, page 117).
Days This field displays the number of days that the CN8600's log
events are to be kept in the Log Server's database before
expiration (see Configure, page 117).
Description This field displays the descriptive information given for the
CN8600 when it was added to the Log Server (see Configure,
page 117).
