List logging enabled
The common way to log events is to use the internal log list of the
IKVM-1000. To show the log list, click on Event Log on the
Maintenance page.
Since the IKVM-1000'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 IKVM-1000, all logging information is saved
permanently and is available after the IKVM-1000 has been
started. If the IKVM-1000 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 IKVM-1000 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 IKVM-1000 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 IKVM-
