5.3.3. Log Conguration
This feature allows you to create records of command activity, alarm actions and
current and power consumption for the Outlet Managed PDU. The Log features are
enabled and congured via the System Parameters Menus. The ability to view the
Current and Power Metering logs is individually enabled for each account via the
User Directory as described in Section 5.5.
Audit Log: Creates a record of all power switching at the Outlet Managed
PDU, 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 Outlet Managed
PDU. Each time an alarm is triggered, the Outlet Managed PDU will generate
a record that lists the time and date of the alarm, the name of the Alarm that was
triggered, and a description of the Alarm.
Current Metering Log: Provides a record of current consumption. Log
records will include the time and date, current and voltage readings and
temperature reading. Current Metering Log data can be downloaded in ASCII,
CSV or XML format.
