Logs & Events
In AutoNOC, a log is an object that passively receives data
about the network, systems and applications you are monitoring and stores it in a database
structure as it is received. For instance, when AutoNOC receives a trap or a syslog event,
it will create a log object and store it for the relevant device and object that received
the event.The following screenshot shows
an example log object created when AutoNOC received an SNMP trap from a switch.

The majority of log functionality and settings is
implemented in log templates. For more information on configuring your own log templates
see 4.5 - Log Template.
3.6.1 Database Storage
The Database tab of a log provides a quick and
dirty capability to see the raw data within the probe records. An example from an SNMP
Trap log is shown below in the following screenshot.

The raw data for the database can also be
downloaded by clicking on Download Data (CSV File). It is also useful to note
that the individual data records are stored as delimited strings. To learn more about how
AutoNOC handles these records, see 4.5 - Log Template and 4.3 - Interpreter. |
