Event Log
The
Event Log
page (
Status > Logs > Event Log
) lets you view and search the Event Log, which is a list of
the events that have occurred on your system since the last upgrade.
The Event Log holds a maximum of 2GB of data; when this size is reached, the oldest entries are
overwritten. However, only the first 50MB of Event Log data can be displayed through the web interface.
Filtering the Event Log
The
Filter
section lets you filter the Event Log. It is displayed only if there is more than one page of
information to display. Log pages show 1000 records per page.
Enter the words you want to search for and click
Filter
. Only those events that contain all the words you
entered are shown.
To do more advanced filtering, click
more options
. This gives you additional filtering methods:
n
Contains the string
: only includes events containing the exact phrase entered here.
n
Contains any of the words
: includes any events that contain at least one of the words entered here.
n
Not containing any of the words
: filters out any events containing any of the words entered here.
Note: use spaces to separate each word you want to filter by.
Click
Filter
to reapply any modified filter conditions. To return to the complete log listing, click
Reset
.

Log can be copied.

Results section
The
Results
section shows all the events matching the current filter conditions, with the most recent being
shown first.
Most
tvcs
events contain hyperlinks in one or more of the fields (such fields change color when you hover
over them). You can click on the hyperlink to show only those events that contain the same text string. For
example, clicking on the text that appears after
Event=
filters the list to show all the events of that particular
type. Likewise, clicking on a particular
Call-Id
shows just those events that contain a reference to that
particular call.
Event Log color coding
Certain events in the Event Log are color-coded so that you can identify them more easily. These events are
