Warning

If the reset button on the HTML frontend is used to restart the ASMI

module, all logging information is saved permanently and is available

after the ASMI module has been started. If the ASMI module loses

power or a hard reset is performed all logging data will be lost. In order

to avoid this use one of the log methods described below.

NFS Logging enabled

Deﬁnes an NFS server which exports a directory allowing the ASMI module to write all of its

logging data to a ﬁle that is located there. If you need to write logging data from more than one

ASMI module device to a single NFS share, you have to deﬁne a ﬁle name that is unique for each

device. When you change the NFS settings and press the button "Apply", the NFS share will be

mounted immediately. Therefore the NFS share and the NFS server ﬁelds must be ﬁlled with valid

values or you will get an error message.

Warning

In contrast to the internal log ﬁle on the ASMI module, the size of the

NFS log ﬁle is not limited. Every log event will be appended to the end of

the ﬁle so it grows continuously and you may have to delete it or move it

away from time to time.

SMTP Logging enabled

With this option the ASMI module is able to send emails to an address given by the Email address

text ﬁeld in the Event Log Settings. These emails contain the same description strings as the internal

log ﬁle and the email subject is set to the event group of the log event. In order to use this log

destination you have to specify an SMTP server that has to be reachable from the ASMI module

device and that needs no authentication at all (<serverip>:<port>).

SNMP Logging enabled

If this is activated, the ASMI module sends an SNMP trap to the speciﬁed destination IP address

every time a log event occurs. If the receiver requires a community string you can deﬁne it in the

appropriate text ﬁeld. Most of the event traps only contain one descriptive string with all

information about the log event. Only authentication and host power events have their own trap

class that consists of several ﬁelds with detailed information about the occurred event. In order to

receive SNMP traps any SNMP trap listener may be used.

Event Log Assignments

You may choose which actions of the ASMI module will be recorded in the log ﬁle. Tick the desired

box(es) and click "Apply" to conﬁrm your selection.
