UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide54
To resize the data log (Logs > Data > size):
By default, the data log stores 400 events. You can change the number of data points the log stores.
When you resize the data log, all existing log entries are deleted. To avoid losing log data, use FTP or
SCP to retrieve the log before you enter a new value in the Data Log Size field.
See “How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files” on page 54.
When the log is full, the older entries are deleted.
How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files
An Administrator or Device User can use FTP or SCP to retrieve a tab-delineated event log file
(event.txt) or data log file (data.txt) and import it into a spreadsheet.
• The file reports all events or data recorded since the log was last deleted or (for the data log)
truncated because it reached maximum size.
• The file includes information that the event log or data log does not display.
– The version of the file format (first field)
– The date and time the file was retrieved
–The Name, Contact, and Location values and IP address of the Management Card
– The unique Event Code for each recorded event (event.txt file only)
Note: The Management Card uses a four-digit year for log entries. You may need
to select a four-digit date format in your spreadsheet application to display all four
digits.
If you are using the encryption-based security protocols for your system, use SCP to retrieve the log file.
If you are using unencrypted authentication methods for the security of your system, use FTP to retrieve
the log file.
