Log Windows - Overview

InterMapper writes information about interesting events into log files. These streams of information can be viewed in the Log window. This allows you to review log files without the need for an external text editor.

These three logs are pre-defined:

The Event log

Use this log to view all events generated during the monitoring of devices. It includes events in which a device changes state, reasons for alarm notifications, and many other events.

The Outages log

Use this log to view a list of devices and networks that have been down, and the times that they came back up.

The Debug log

Use this log to view a list of detailed debug messages that may be useful for debugging InterMapper.

 

You create and control the preferences for log files from the Log Files panel of the Server Settings window. For more information on creating, viewing, and controlling the events that appear in log files, see Server Preferences - Log Files.

Note: Debug log and Event log are encoded in UTF-8 format. To edit those files, your text editor must support UTF-8 encoding in order to view foreign characters correctly.
