3.6 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.
