Exception Log

The Exception Log allows to read error events from the device. It is structured in a similar way as the device log.

To start reading the exception log of a device, select the device in the Network Navigator and click on “Start reading log”. The Exception Log will then start to read log data from the current index in the device.

To start reading at the beginning of the log, select the device to read from and click on “Reset exception log index” before selecting “Start reading log”.

The different log messages are shown in a table consisting of the following columns:

  • Severity: Always error (ERR)

  • Timestamp: The time when the log message occurred in seconds since boot of the device

  • Module: The module that issues the error message.

  • Message: The log message.

Once the reading of log messages is started, the process continues until “Stop reading exception log” is selected. 

While the reading of log messages is active, it is not possible to select a different device in the Network Navigator.

Per default, the log view will be automatically scrolled to the last message at the bottom of the view. This behaviour can be disabled by unchecking “Enable autoscrolling” in the Options section of the Exception Log.
