Logging

The DSView Telnet application has a logging function that saves the contents

of a Telnet session to a file. You may enable automatic logging or dynamically

start logging at any time. Additionally, you may pause, resume and stop log-

ging, regardless of whether it was started automatically or dynamically.

While logging is occurring or when it is paused, a Logging Status label

appears in the status panel at the bottom of the DSView Telnet window.

NOTE: When you enable or disable automatic logging, the logging will begin or end at the start
of the next DSView Telnet session to that device. If you change the default log fi le directory used
for automatic logging, the change does not take effect until the next session to that device.
