General File Format Information

The communications status, transaction, and object state logs all share the same basic file format. Each record in a log file ends with a carriage return and line feed. A single record will consist of two or more fields where each field is surrounded by quotation marks and separated by commas.

The two fields that will be present in all records are:

• Timestamp – The server time when the record was generated. It will have the following format:

  YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmm

  where “YYYY” is the 4-digit year, “MM” is the month number, “DD” is the day of the month, “HH” is the hour in the day (24 hour format), “MM” is the minutes into the hour, “SS” is the seconds into the minute, and “mmm” is the milliseconds into the second.

• Device Name – The name of the device associated with the message. If the message is associated with the LoggerNet server, this will be an empty string.
