Warning
There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you
have to set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of your country.
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
be activated separately.
The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch. To
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.
List logging enabled
The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch .
To show the log list, click on “Event Log” on the “Maintenance” page.
Since the PS/2 IP-KVM switch's system memory is used to save all the information, the
maximum number of possible log list entries is restricted to 1.000 events. Every entry that
exceeds this limit overrides the oldest one, automatically.
Warning
If the reset button on the HTML front-end is used to restart the PS/2 IP-KVM switch, all
logging information is saved permanently and is available after the PS/2 IP-KVM switch has
been started. If the PS/2 IP-KVM switch loses power or a hard reset is performed, all logging
data will be lost. To avoid this, use one of the following log methods.
NFS Logging enabled
Define a NFS server, where a directory or a static link have to be exported, to write all
logging data to a file that is located there. To write logging data from more than one PS/2
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” ,
the NFS share will be mounted immediately. That means, the NFS share and the NFS
server must be filled with valid sources or you will get an error message.
SMTP Logging enabled
With this option, the PS/2 IP-KVM switch is able to send Emails to an address given by
the Email address text field in the Event Log Settings. These mails contain the same
description strings as the internal log file and the mail subject is filled with the event group
of the occurred log event. In order to use this log destination you have to specify a SMTP
server, that has to be reachable from the PS/2 IP-KVM switch device and that needs no
authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).
