Data Logging and Event Management
The Log Manager and Event Manager modules play a key role in network management. The following diagrams
depict how they work.
The Log Manager periodically sends requests to target devices according to a fixed polling interval. The target
device receives the requests and sends replies to the Log Manager.
The Log Manager then processes data in two different ways:
• Data passes through the filter you set; it may be saved in the database depending on the condition specified in
the filter.
• Data is checked against a threshold formula. If conditions are satisfied, the Log Manager automatically triggers
the event associated with the log process.
