The sat-nms software provides a elaborate event logging facility which lets the operator keep track of device faults and other events. It stores device fault messages and other events like the start of the software, user logins or the NMS communication connections to VLCs.
The ' Concepts ' chapter below explains how the event logging works with M&C systems and with VLC controlled by a NMS as well. Then the chapters ' The Event Report Window ', ' The Active Faults Window ' and ' The Live Event Log Window ' introduce the user interface to the event logging facility.
