This window displays parameters for a selected log manager. It is opened from the Edit button when a log manager is selected in the Available Log Managers area in the Event View Manager window. The window looks different depending on the type of log manager you have selected: server or local.
Use this window to configure the Poll Interval for the Traps Log Manager and the Syslog Log Manager, and to configure the Pattern that will be used to interpret (parse) syslog information managed by the Syslog Manager. You can also use this window to edit parameters for local log managers you have created.
Click areas in the window for more information.
- Log Directory/Log File
- For the Syslog Log Manager, use the Edit Path button to edit the path to the requested syslog file. The path must be a full path residing on the server.
