56.7.4.1

Overview

On the Database tab (see figure 56.12), the properties of 
the logging database can be defined.
 

56.7.4.2

Recent events

Use the Recent events block to define the number of 
recent events that is displayed in the Logging Viewer (see 
section 57.6.2.3).

56.7.4.3

Database file

Use the controls in the Database file block to define:
•

The location of the logging database. This can be 
entered in the upper text box.

•

The critical size of the logging database. When the 
critical size is reached, the Logging Server displays the 
following message (see section 56.5.2): The Logging 

It is possible to make a back-up of the logging database 
(even if the Logging Server is running). When a back-up 
is made of a running Logging Server, it is advised to 
wait for a moment at which a low number of events is 
expected (i.e. when there are almost no running calls). 
Events that occur while the back-up is made will not be 
copied to the logging database. However, events that 
occurred during the back-up process can be viewed with 
the standard Windows Event Viewer (Start > Settings > 
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer).

56.7.4.4

Flush events

Use the controls in the Flush events block to flush events 
from the logging database. Proceed as follows:
1 If the fault events must be flushed from the logging 

database, put a check mark in the Fault events check 
box.

2 If the general events must be flushed from the 

logging database, put a check mark in the General 
events check box.

3 If the call events must be flushed from the logging 

database, put a check mark in the Call events check 
box.

4 Click the Flush now button to flush the selected types 

of events from the logging database.
•

If the Move expired events to overflow file field of the 
selected type of events on the Logging Expiration 
tab (see section 56.7.3) contains a check mark, the 
selected type of events are flushed to an overflow 
file.

•

If the Move expired events to overflow file field of the 
selected type of events on the Logging Expiration 
tab (see section 56.7.3) does not contain a check 
mark, the selected type of events are deleted from 
the database.

Note
For experts only: the logging database is a 

Microsoft® Access file, which also can be 

opened with Microsoft® Access. If for any 

reason the database becomes corrupted and 

the Logging Server is not able to access the 

database, the database can be repaired with 

Microsoft® Access. 
Close the Logging Server application.
Open the database with Microsoft® Access.
Select: Tools > Database utilities > Compact 
and Repair database.

Note
When the database is flushed and the Logging 

Server is started again, the database is filled 

with the events that are retrieved from the 

enabled network controllers. Each enabled 

network controller keeps an internal list of up to 

200 events of each type. Use the File Transfer 

application to clear the internal list (see section
