The VB-C10/VB-C10R includes a feature that writes operating status to a log file and saves it. Log Viewer simplifies the reading of log files and provides management and resolution of errors. Log Viewer not only displays all logs, it is also capable of filtering so that only the required information is displayed.

Viewing Logs

When Log Viewer is started up from the VBAdmin Startup Panel, it automatically retrieves the most recent log file and displays the recent logs.

The following content is displayed in the log.

Code

The log displays error codes. For error codes, refer to chart further below

Error codes are displayed with one of four types of icons according to level.

Date & Time

The date and time when the log was generated is displayed.

Message

Using selection criteria to display logs

Logs can be filtered according to type, code, or date and time so that only the required information is displayed.

To Set Selection Criteria...

2. The Filter dialog box appears. Set the following selection criteria and click the "OK" button to display only the logs that match those criteria. If filtering is not required, click the "Cancel" button.
