ASM Log Entry Details Window


This window displays detailed information about a specific trap/action entry selected in the Automated Security Manager Activity Monitor. Activities related to the selected Activity Monitor entry are listed chronologically, by default, with newer activities at the bottom. You can change the arrangement by clicking a heading to sort the table in ascending or descending order. The Log Entry Details window is launched by double-clicking an entry in the Activity Monitor table or from the View Details option on the ASM Activity Monitor right-click menu.

Log details are maintained in date-stamped files in the <install directory>\appdata\logs directory. A new file is opened each day. Entries in these files wrap around (overwrite the oldest information) when the file reaches its maximum size (1 Mb) and there is no automatic housekeeping to remove older files from this directory.
