APC AP7900 Manuel D’Utilisation

If you have Administrator or Device Manager access, you can use SCP or 
FTP to retrieve a tab-delineated event log file (event.txt) or data log file 
(data.txt) that you can import into a spreadsheet application.

• The file reports all of the events or data recorded since the log was last 

deleted.

• The file includes information that the event log or data log does not 

display.

– The version of the file format (first field)
– The 

 and 

 the file was retrieved

– The 

, 

, and 

 values, and the IP address of 

the Rack PDU

– The unique 

 for each recorded event (event.txt file only)

If you are using the encryption-based security protocols for your 
system, use Secure CoPy (SCP) to retrieve the log file. (You 
should have FTP disabled.) If you are using unencrypted 
authentication methods for the security of your system, use FTP to 
retrieve the log file.

See 

 for information on the available protocols and 

methods for setting up the type of security appropriate for your 
needs.

The Rack PDU uses a 4-digit year for log entries. You may 
need to select a four-digit date format in your spreadsheet 
application to display all four digits of the year.
