6.2.3. Log Configuration
This feature allows you to create records of command activity, alarm actions,
temperature readings and current and power consumption for the VMR/NPS unit. The
Log features are enabled and configured via the System Parameters Menus.
•
Audit Log:
Creates a record of all power switching at the VMR/NPS unit, including
reboots and switching caused by Load Shedding, Load Shedding Recovery,
Ping No Answer Reboots and Scheduled Reboots. Each Log record includes a
description of the activity that caused the power switching, the username for the
account that initiated the power switching or reboot and the time and date that the
power switching or reboot occurred. In addition to power switching activity, the
Audit Log will also include login/logout activity for each user account.
•
Alarm Log:
Creates a record of all Alarm Activity at the VMR/NPS unit. When an
alarm is triggered, the VMR/NPS will generate a record that lists the time and date
of the alarm, the name of the Alarm triggered, and a description of the Alarm.
•
Temperature Log:
(NPS Only) The Temperature Log provides a record of
temperature levels over time at the NPS unit. Each Log record will include the time
and date, and the temperature reading.
•
Current Metering Log:
(VMR Only) Provides a record of current consumption.
Log records include the time and date, current and voltage readings and
temperature readings. Current Metering Log data can be downloaded in ASCII,
CSV or XML format.
Notes:
•
Current and Power Metering functions are not available on NPS units.
• In VMR units, temperature data is included in the Current History Log. In NPS
Units, a separate Temperature Log is included to display temperature data.
