Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 278)

Using iTX Desktop layouts for system administration
The Logging pop-up layout
The Logging pop-up layout has three components:
• The Logging Service Monitor.
• The Manual Log Entry component.
• The Remote Service Trace Logging Monitor.
The Logging Service Monitor provides a live list of messages; it shows these messages as the
Logging Service is processing them. It displays information in two panes: in the upper pane, log
lines (brief descriptions of the conditions or events the messages relate to); in the lower pane,
full details for any selected log line. You can scroll through the log lines to view recent
messages, which the Logging Service stores in its log files.
Through the Manual Log Entry component, you can add your own log message to the Logging
Service log file.
Filtering log-message lists
As well as the message text, and the date and time of the message, an entry in the log-message
list has these elements: the level of significance of the message; the workstation from which
the message is generated; the user who is logged on at that workstation; the service or iTX
Desktop that generates the message.
You can apply a filter to the live log-message list, to show only messages with log-element
values that you specify in the filter.
