Including debug messages in the log

By default, the NION log contains messages generated for a number of different events, including:

• users logging on and off
• roles starting and restarting
• muting and unmuting
• time synchronization.

If you are troubleshooting a problem on a NioNode and you want to view debug messages in the log (and not just the default messages), you must enable the logging of each type of message using the web interface.

Tip: Entries are added to the log until 2MB of storage has been used (and approximately 22,000 lines have been stored). 1MB of the oldest log data is then deleted automatically, making room available for new entries. The available space is the same, regardless of the amount of compact flash memory fitted to the NION.

To include debug messages in the log

1. In NWare, click the Remote Log tab at the bottom window.
2. In the Targets Found pane, right-click on the NioNode and then click Launch Web Interface.

   A browser will be opened displaying the home page of the selected NioNode.

3. In the browser, click Special at the top of the page.
4. At the bottom of page, Click advanced.
5. Under Debug Logging, select check boxes next to the types of debug messages you want to include in the NION log.

   If you want to include all types of debug messages, scroll to the bottom of the window, and then click set all.

6. Click apply.
7. Specify your username and password. The default username is superuser; it has no password.
