Procedure

1. Open [Host Properties] dialog box.
2. Click [Log] tab.
3. Select [Output log] check box.
4. If writing logs for certain interface(s) is not necessary, clear the corresponding check box(s) to stop writing logs in the [Interfaces] area.
5. Fill the following entries as needed.
   • Output interval
   • Number of entries in file
   • Directory where the log is written
   • Compress log files or not
   • Delete log files Automatically or not

Note

• In order to write log data, ASTEC Eyes Basic Package or Remote Module must be running on the host.
• Log data can only be used after all the entries in a log file are written. Therefore the latency period is [Output interval] x [Number of entries in file]. The larger the values of [Output interval] and [Number of entries in file] are, the longer it will take before the log data can be retrieved and displayed.
• Specify the directory where the log file is created as a relative path to the directory where ASTEC Eyes or Remote Module is installed.
• Select the [Compress log files] check box to compress the log files by bzip2.
• If you configure ASTEC Eyes to output log files, ASTEC Eyes continues to output them even after you exit the application.
