Single port PS2 KVM over IP
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 must specify a SMTP server, that
has to be reachable from the PS/2 KVM over IP switch device and that needs no
authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).
. SNMP Log
If this is activated, PS/2 KVM over IP switch sends a SNMP trap to a specified destination IP
address, every time a log event occurs. If the receiver requires a community string, you can
set it in the appropriate text field. Most of the event traps only contain one descriptive string
with all information about the log event. Only authentication and host power events have an
own trap class that contains of several fields with detailed information about the occurred
event. To receive this SNMP traps, any SNMP trap listener may be used.
. NFS Log
You have the possibility to 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 KVM over IP 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
apply button, 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.
Note: In contrast to the internal log file on PS/2 KVM over IP switch, the size of the NFS log file
is not limited. Every log event will be appended to the end of the file so it grows continuously
and you may want to delete it or move it away sometimes.
