1.23.2 Live log

The Live Event Log window shows the recent event messages as they are received from one of the M&Cs. The Live Event Log window shows the messages in the order of their arrival at the M&C. The window can be resized, scrolled and always shows the last 25 messages.

The sort order of the event list (newest first / oldest first) may be toggled using the Sort by dropdown on the right hand side. The default sort order is determined from a parameter set in the "client.properties" file located at the M&C server. Setting the key "gui.eventSortOrder" to "true" or "false" defines the default behavior of the live event log window.

Table columns

• ID: The event ID. This is a unique number the software assigns to each event which arrives at the M&C.
• TIME: The time stamp when the event was originated
• NAK: The 'need acknowledgment' mark. Messages showing a red exclamation mark in this column are fault messages which need to be acknowledged by the operator.
• PRIO: The message priority. The message priority decides on the urgency, the message gets delivered from the M&C to the client. It also is a search criteria in the Event Report window. The following priority symbols may appear:
  • : This is an informational message (lowest priority)
  • : This is a fault message (medium priority)
  • : This is an alarm message (highest priority, the MNC tries to deliver this immediately, regardless of the dial timing settings)
• SOURCE: The primary message source. This usually is the ID of the MNC which issued the message. Messages marked with 'USER' or 'MNC' in this column.
• DEVICE: The secondary message source. This gives a more detailed information about the source of the message. It may be the name of the device in a MNC which caused the event.
• MESSAGE: The message text.

Right side toolbar

• Sort table: The table content can sort by descending and ascending.
• Acknowledge all faults: Acknowledge all faults marked with the red exclamation mark.
• Acknowledge fault: This button may appear if you want to acknowledge messages marked with the red exclamation mark. Simply select the row with red exclamation mark with mouse click. The exclamation mark will then disappear and a confirmation message will be added at the end of the log.
