• NFS Logging enabled: Define a NFS server, where a directory or a static link have to be
exported, to write all logging data to a file that is located there. To write logging data from
more than one IP console device to only one 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. That means, the NFS share and the NFS
server must be filled with valid sources or you will get an error message.
Warning!
In contrast to the internal log file on the IP console, 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 IP console 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 mail subject is filled with
the event group of the occurred log event. In order to use this log destination you have to
specify a SMTP server, that has to be reachable from the IP console and that needs no
authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).
• SNMP Logging enabled: If this is activated, the IP console sends a SNMP trap to a
specified destination IP address, every time a log event occurs. If the receiver requires a
community string, you can set 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 an own trap class that consists of several fields with detailed
information about the occurred event. To receive these SNMP traps, any SNMP trap listener
may be used.
Here is an example of all gerenated events and event group.
