Sending Log Group Data over an
FTP Connection
You can specify that the log group you are creating is regularly sent to
a remote server over an FTP connection. This assumes that you have an
FTP server available to receive log data and that you have specified one
or more FTP clients in your QML logger setup file. For information on
how to configure FTP clients in the setup, see Vaisala HydroMet™
Data Collection Platform User’s Guide, Volume 3.
It is useful to have multiple FTP clients specified the logger setup. For
instance, if you have only one client and you use it to send both log files
(which tend to be large) and reports (which are smaller in size), an error
in sending the log file would block sending the report as well. However,
if you use one client to send logs and another to send reports, the report
might still get through even if sending the log had failed.
To specify an FTP connection for a log group, proceed as follows:
1. In the Log Groups frame, select the log group for which you wish
to define an FTP connection.
2. Click the FTP tab.
3. From the Select FTP client drop-down menu, select the client you
wish to use for the connection.
4. In the Destination directory text field, enter the directory on the
FTP server in which you wish to have your log group stored. Note
that you only need to enter the directory name; you specified the
server name in IP Services the when you created the FTP client for
the setup.
