Linking Loggers to an Audit Trail File (vLog VL)

If you use vLog VL and have enabled security, it is very
important to link loggers to a specific audit trail file so you can
see the exact configuration changes that have occurred over
time. This linkage only needs to be done once per logger.
You will know a logger is not linked to an audit trail when you
open the Logger Setup window and see the alert, “Logger is
not linked to audit trail.”

To link a logger to an audit trail file:
1

From

Logger | Setup

, click the

Setup

button in the row for

Audit Trail Link.

2

You are prompted to link this logger to the audit trail file.
Click

Yes

.

Now that the logger is linked to an audit trail file, changes
made to the logger settings are tracked in the audit trail. To
make changes to a logger linked to an audit trail, a user must
first log on to a computer connected to the same audit trail.

Configuring Logger Description

The Logger Description helps identify a logger every time you
communicate with it. Using a description that refers to the
application or location of the logger, and checking the logger
description prior to each use, is a quick way to ensure you
are connected to the correct logger.

Click the Refresh button to update the currently displayed val-
ues. Click the Setup button to enable and disable channels. If a
channel is disabled and no Setup button is available, the channel
was disabled at the factory and cannot be enabled by the user.
