Port Logging - Digi Connectware CM User Manual

Port Logging

Port Logging
If a serial port is configured for console server mode, the port logging feature
can be enabled. Port logging allows the user to save serial data to the memory
of the Digi CM, a compact-flash card, a syslog server, or to an NFS server. If
the memory is used for port logging, all data will be cleared when the system's
power is turned off.
Users can also define alarm keywords for each serial port and send email
alerts or SNMP traps to enable unattended serial data monitoring. To configure
a serial port for port logging in console server mode, do the following:
1. Access the web interface.
2. Under the Serial Port heading, choose Configuration.
3. Choose All or the Individual port and then Port logging.
4. Configure the settings.
5. Choose Save & apply.
Viewing Port Logs
The port logs can be viewed from the web interface on the Port logging page
or from the location where they have been saved. The following table lists the
