6.4.7 Event Log
Figure 6-29. Event Log
Important events like a login failure or a firmware update are logged to a selection of logging
destinations (see Figure 6-29). Each of those events belongs to an event group, which can

show the log list, click on “Event Log” on the “Maintenance” page. In the Event Log Settings
you can choose how many log entries are shown on each page. Furthermore, you can clear
the log file here.

data will be lost. To avoid this, use one of the following log methods.

IP-KVM switch devices 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” ,
