ServView 17 Enterprise KVM Drawer
This is where the internal real-time clock of the IP-KVM switch can be set. Either adjust the
clock manually or to use a NTP timeserver. Without a timeserver, your time setting will not be
persistent, so you will have to readjust if the IP-KVM switch loses power for more than a few
minutes. To avoid this, you can use a NTP timeserver, which sets up the internal clock auto-
matically to the current UTC time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting
that allows you to set up a static offset to get your local time.
Event Log
Important events like a login failure or a firmware update are logged to a selection of
logging destinations. Each events belongs to an event group which can be activated
separately.
The most common way to log events is using the internal log list of the IP-KVM switch. To
show the log list, click on "Event Log" on the "Maintenance" page. In the Event Log Settings
you can choose how many log entries are shown on each page. You can also clear the log
file here.
List logging enabled
Since the IP-KVM switch's system memory is used to save all the information if this setting is
selected, the maximum number of possible log list entries is restricted to 1000 events. Every
entry that exceeds this limit overrides the oldest one automatically.
NFS Logging enabled
Define an NFS server to write all logging data to. To write logging data from more than one
IP-KVM switch device 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 click the "Apply" button the NFS share
will be mounted immediately. That means that the NFS share and the NFS server fields must
be completed with valid sources or you will get an error message.
