Warning
If the reset button on the HTML frontend is used to restart the ASMI
module, all logging information is saved permanently and is available
after the ASMI module has been started. If the ASMI module loses
power or a hard reset is performed all logging data will be lost. In order
to avoid this use one of the log methods described below.
NFS Logging enabled
Defines an NFS server which exports a directory allowing the ASMI module to write all of its
logging data to a file that is located there. If you need to write logging data from more than one
ASMI module device to a single NFS share, you have to define a file name that is unique for each
device. When you change the NFS settings and press the button "Apply", the NFS share will be
mounted immediately. Therefore the NFS share and the NFS server fields must be filled with valid
values or you will get an error message.
Warning
In contrast to the internal log file on the ASMI module, the size of the
NFS log file is not limited. Every log event will be appended to the end of
the file so it grows continuously and you may have to delete it or move it
away from time to time.
SMTP Logging enabled
With this option the ASMI module is able to send emails to an address given by the Email address
text field in the Event Log Settings. These emails contain the same description strings as the internal
log file and the email subject is set to the event group of the log event. In order to use this log
destination you have to specify an SMTP server that has to be reachable from the ASMI module
device and that needs no authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).
SNMP Logging enabled
If this is activated, the ASMI module sends an SNMP trap to the specified destination IP address
every time a log event occurs. If the receiver requires a community string you can define it in the
appropriate text field. Most of the event traps only contain one descriptive string with all
information about the log event. Only authentication and host power events have their own trap
class that consists of several fields with detailed information about the occurred event. In order to
receive SNMP traps any SNMP trap listener may be used.
Event Log Assignments
You may choose which actions of the ASMI module will be recorded in the log file. Tick the desired
box(es) and click "Apply" to confirm your selection.
