Chart Log Files
Specifying a chart log file
InterMapper can write chart data to a tab-delimited text file. You can
specify separate log files for each chart, or you can send the data from
several charts to a single log file.
To specify a log file to receive chart data:
- From the Chart dropdown menu,
select Log file... The Create Log File window appears, as shown at
right.
- In the Log File Name box, enter the name of the new log
file.
- Set the preferences for the new log file using a window similar to the
example at the right. For more details creating log files, see Log
Files. When finished, click OK.
Each line of the tab-delimited file contains a date and time stamp and the
current values of the variables defined by the chart.
To stop logging data to a log file:
- From the Server Settings window, choose the Log
Files panel of the Server Preferences section. The Log
Files panel appears.
- Click to select the file for which you want to stop
logging data.
- Click Remove. The file disappears from the list, and
chart data is no longer written to that file.
