Basic Configuration
5.3.4. Log Configuration
This feature allows you to create records of command activity, alarm actions and current
and power consumption for the MPC unit. The Log features are enabled and configured
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. The MPC features four event logs: the Audit Log, the Alarm Log, the
Current Metering Log and the Power Metering Log:
• Audit Log: The Audit log creates a record of all power switching and reboot activity
at the MPC 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 or
reboot, the username for the account that initiated the power switching or reboot
and the time and date that the power switching or reboot occurred.
• Alarm Log: The Alarm log creates a record of all Alarm Activity at the MPC unit.
Each time an alarm is triggered, the MPC 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: The Current Metering Log provides a record of current
consumption for the MPC unit. Each Log record will include the time and date,
current and voltage readings for each available branch circuit and the temperature
reading. The Current Metering Log can be downloaded in ASCII, CSV or XML
format, and when viewed via the Web Browser Interface, can also be displayed as a
graph.
• Power Metering Log: The Power Metering Log provides a record of power
consumption (in Kilowatt Hours) for the MPC unit. The Power Metering Log can be
downloaded in ASCII, CSV or XML format, and when viewed via the Web Browser
Interface, can also be displayed as a graph.
Note: If optional Auxiliary MPC units have been connected to the AUX ports on
your local MPC unit, the Log Function will also record events that occur at the
Auxiliary units too.
