Logging
The -48 VDC products support logging of system events both internally and externally. An internal log of more than
4000 events is automatically maintained and is reviewable by administrative users. For permanent/long-term log
storage, the unit supports the Syslog protocol. For immediate notification, the unit supports Email notifications.
Log entries include a sequential entry number, a date/time stamp and an event message. The event message is preceded
with a message-type heading and if the event is tied to a user, the username will be included.
NOTE:
For date/time stamp support, SNTP server support must be configured.
The unit supports the following event message headers:
Auth: All authentication attempts.
Power: All power state change requests.
Config: All system configuration changes.
Event: All general system events.
Example
: over/under threshold event.
