Logging

i-Catcher Console logs certain events to a daily log file so that any problems can be identified. This includes loss of contact with cameras, new web view sessions (if enabled), system status, and archiving status.

The log can be accessed by clicking on the Logging button on the main Console menu bar. Options are available to select the log date, and to filter on a particular feed, certain system events, or all messages.

The log shows the time of the event, the feed it relates to (if applicable) and the message itself. Messages are colour-coded to indicate their significance.

• Red messages - Critical problems such as loss of camera contact.
• Orange messages - Less critical problems such as a temporary loss of camera.
• Green messages - Successful recovery from an earlier problem, or successful completion.
• Blue messages - Related to the web view system.
• Purple messages - Authentication and login events.
• Black messages - Informational and indicate minor events.

The log window is considered when using the auto-arrange facility, but is not part of the "best-fit" system. The Log window will be treated such that it reduces the available area in which to auto-arrange feeds.
