the Log Message Summaries window.
This window can only be accessed by double-clicking a message in
the Log Message Summaries window or the Log Message Monitor
window.
You can save all the messages listed in this window to a log file.
From the Log Message Inspector menu, select either Save as Binary
or Save as Text. A directory dialog box appears, so that you can
name the file. By default, binary log files are saved with the
extension “log,” while text log files are saved with the extension
“txt.”

Logging and Messages

Note that the Log Message Inspector window is basically the same
window as the one used to view log files
To view Layer III message details in real time, use the Log Message
Monitor window. This configurable window lets you select which
Layer III messages you want to view in real time, and displays a
single, detailed panel for each selected message type that is updated
by every occurrence of that type of message.
In the View menu, click Log Message Monitor to open the window.

Chapter 5: Logging and Messages AXESSTEL Proprietary

Like the Log Message Summaries window, this window has a
resizable configuration pane on the left. In this pane, you select the
type of messages you want to monitor by selecting check boxes in an
expandable list of messages. As CAI MSG receives messages of the types
selected, it populates the panel on the right with individual panes
that each show the most recent message of a given type. The scroll

bar in the right panel lets you view all selected messages. Also, up

and down arrows in the lower right of an individual pane indicate

that there is additional message detail that you can view by clicking

the arrows to scroll within the pane or by dragging the lower border

of the pane downward. Double-clicking a message causes it to be

displayed in the Log Message Inspector window, unless it displays

the words “Out of cache” instead of an age value, which indicates

that it’s no longer available to be displayed in the Log Message

Inspector window.
