Log Categories

The LoggerNet server logs events in four different kinds of logs as follows:

• Transaction Status (TranX.log) – This log file documents the state of the various transactions that occur between the LoggerNet server and devices in the datalogger network. This is the most readable of the logs and contains event messages that are meaningful to most users. Examples of these events are:

  • Datalogger clock check/set

  • Datalogger program downloads

  • Data collection

  The format and type of records in this log are strictly defined to make it possible for a software program to parse the log records.

• Communications Status (CommsX.log) – This log file documents the quality of communications in the datalogger network.

• Object State (StateX.log) – This log file documents the state of an object. This is primarily for troubleshooting by software developers and the messages are relatively free in form.

• Low Level I/O (IOXSerial Port_1.log) – A low level log file is associated with each root device in the datalogger network to record incoming and outgoing communications. While the entire network can be monitored from a single messaging session of the transaction, communications status, or object state logs, monitoring of the low-level log is performed on a session with the root device for that log.
