Logs
Zetafax allows you to view events logged on the Zetafax server. The Logs option form the Server tab allows you to select which logged messages to display.
•Select the Logs option from the Server tab to open the Server Logs window.
•Select Messages Sent or Messages Received/Scanned to display log entries for the corresponding types of messages.
•Select Devices or Programs , and choose a device or program from the corresponding drop-down menu, to display all entries for the corresponding item.
•Select Everything to display log entries for all categories.
•Select a user name from the For Username drop-down menu, or All displayed entries for all users.
•Deselect Today only to display all log entries.
Selection of log entries uses three criteria – entry type, recorded username, and time. Entry type is selected simply by clicking any one of the entry types available on the Zetafax server logs window. If selecting entries logged from a particular device or program, this is selected in the usual way from a box.
If you have administrator privileges, you can search for logged messages for any given user, or all users of the system. Select the user from the For Username drop-down menu.
Otherwise users can only search for their own messages.
Time of logging can be selected for today only or all days logged. The Today only box should be checked if only today's messages are required. The number of days that daily logs are kept is specified by the network administrator, and could be many days, creating a very long list.
Log format
The format of log messages displayed is very simple – the time in 24 hour format (military time) followed by the actual error or Zetafax server message. Often they also contain the username and temporary file name involved in the action that created the message. Clicking on a message displays the server program which generated it, the user and message ID it refers to, and an explanation of the error (if applicable).
To show log entries for a specific message
•Select an entry for the appropriate message and click the This message… button.
The log entries will be filtered to show only those entries that apply to the selected message.
