Buffalo Surveillance Server
Type of Report
Summary
Complete
Diagnostic
Click the pull-down menu to select the report option that you want. Use the Summary or
Complete options on a normal basis and switch to Diagnostics if you run into problems.
In the Report Options text box, leave the default variables in place, enter in the file name
that you want to use, including an extension, or enter a variable name using File Name
Field Variables (below).
Or,
If you want to overwrite an already existing log file, use [ < Browse ] to find the file.
Filename Field Variables
The file path can include a literal file name or a combination of variables that will generate
filenames for reports. Variables make it much easier to distinguish between reports and to find
particular reports.
For example, if you enter a path with a literal file name, C:/Program Files/BUFFALO/Logs/
Job_Report.log, the system will generate the report destination folder "Logs" (if it does not
already exist) and a report named "Job_Report.log". Similarly, if you enter a literal file name,
say "DataErrors.log", a log named DataErrors.log will be generated.
On the other hand, if you enter a path with variables (separated by an underscore) for the file
name, say %R/Logs/%P_from_%H_on_%D_at_%T, the system will generate the report
destination folder "Logs" and a report named, "Monday Night Set_from_Rex<host
name>_on_<date>_at_<time>" — where policy name, host name, date, and time are
populated with the actual details from your Information Repository and job.
Following are the variables you can enter in the order you prefer. When using multiple
variables, separate them from each other with an underscore (_).
A header and summary report
