ILES Erases log files, defines Red events, sets priorities and action to be taken
when an event occurs, and clears Red events. (See Define RED Events in the
following paragraphs.)
E RASE L OG F ILES The SysLog utility, by default, stores all messages of a certain priority in a
specified local log file or facility. These files are named LOCAL0.txt,
LOCAL1.txt, LOCAL2.TXT, and so on. To erase the file, click on this menu.
D EFINE RED E VENTS The Red events feature allows the user to predefine a
message priority condition so that if the condition oc-
curs, the file is highlighted in red. In the figure shown
here, any LOCAL0 through LOCAL7 facility becomes
highlighted in red if a
C RITICAL , M AJOR or M INOR mes-
sage is received. This feature allows a user to quickly lo-
cate problem units during troubleshooting.
P ROPERTIES When you click on P ROPERTIES ,
the S ET F ACILITY F ILTERS dialog
box opens, allowing you to speci-
fy what types of messages will be
logged to an ASCII text file. In the
example shown here, all SysLog
event messages of
N ORMAL and
above (i.e., C RITICAL , M AJOR , M I -
NOR and W ARNING ) will be logged.
I NFO (debug) messages will be
blocked. In this example, if the log
file exceeds 20K, SysLog alerts the
user on startup to this fact. Also,
from this box, you can set the alert
action.
