Chapter 7. Generating And Viewing Logs, Receiving Notifications - KAPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS 5.7 - FOR NOVELL NETWARE Administrator's Manual

CHAPTER 7.
AND VIEWING LOGS,
RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS
All the events that take place during execution of the tasks are logged and the
information about them is saved in the log file. This version of Kaspersky Anti-
Virus is capable of working with two log formats: text and XML.
Text format is the traditional type, providing the opportunity to record and view
task execution results.
The XML format, apart from having the features of the text format, has a number
of extra capabilities. The information recorded in XML logs can be filtered and
sorted using various criteria. In addition, it is possible to merge different task logs
and obtain summarized results. The above mentioned functions are provided by
a number of auxiliary files located in the View directory nested in the Log.
In the event that the View directory is deleted or moved, the functions of filtering,
sorting, searching or merging the log data become unavailable.
To view any journals, use the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.
Viewing the xml format log is only possible if Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 is
installed on your computer.
By default a separate log file is created for each task. The log file is located in the
Log directory, which is created during the installation of the application in the
installation directory of the server along with other auxiliary directories. txt-files
are saved in the root of this directory, while xml log files are saved in the nested
XML directory. To assist in viewing the XML logs auxiliary htm-files are created,
which are also stored in the root of the Log directory.
The user can view the log via the computer file system or using the Snapin for
ConsoleOne or the web module (if the Novell NetWare client is installed on the
local computer).
The log can only be deleted by means of removing the respective files from the
XML and Log directories.
The log keeping parameters and the information to be recorded can be set
during adjustment of the respective task using the Event log tab (for more
details please refer to section B.1.3 on page 129 and section B.2.3 on page146).
