5. FTP Upload
FTP upload allows you to upload an event snapshot to an FTP server when an application event
occurs. The directory and file name to store the snapshot file can be set variably using the
event’s metadata.
The FTP Upload can be added from the Action settings. Select the Action Type to FTP, then, the
relevant settings at the bottom.
5.1 Snapshot Time Range Settings
Set the time range for uploading snapshots based on the time of the event.
In the example set above, snapshots taken from 2 seconds before the event to 1 second after the
event will be uploaded.
Periodic snapshots are taken at least once per second for each channel, in addition to event
snapshots.
5.2 Snapshot Upload Directory and File Name Format Settings
•
Directory
: Specify the location where the snapshot image is stored when the FTP
Upload action is performed.
o
Event metadata can be included in this setting. Setting the path to include
timestamps, as in the setting example above, specifies the upload directory
based on the event time. The snapshot will be saved to the root directory of the
FTP connection if this setting is not specified.
•
Filename
: Snapshot file names can be set similarly to directories.
o
The extension for snapshot file names is automatically set to .jpg, so there is no
need to change it in the preferences.
