FTP Log Automation

Navigate Device > Log > Automation > FTP Log Automation tab, FTP log automation enables the administrator to send logs to an FTP server. It is similar to Email Log Automation in the following aspects:

• You can select text, HTML, or CSV file format
• You can select detailed or concise log information
• You can select a predefined time schedule. In addition to the defined schedule, logs are sent when the administrator clicks Restart and when the log is full.

  

To configure FTP log automation settings

1. Navigate to the Device > Log > Automation page and select FTP Log Automation tab.
2. Select Send Log to FTP to enable FTP log automation. If this option is not selected, all the other options are grayed out.
3. For FTP Server, enter the IPv4 address of the FTP server.
4. For Username, enter the username for authenticating to the FTP server.
5. For Password, enter the password for the FTP server account.
6. For Directory, enter the destination directory on the FTP server. The default is logs.
7. From the Send Log drop-down menu, select the frequency for sending the logs to the FTP server. Choose Daily, Weekly, or When Full. The default is When Full.
8. Select the day of the week for sending the logs from the drop-down menu next to Every field. This is used for a Weekly schedule.
9. Select the hour and minute of the day in 24 hour format in the two fields next to the At (24-Hour Format). The time is used for Daily and Weekly schedules.
10. From the File Format drop-down menu, select one of Plain Text, HTML, or CSV Attachment as the format in which the logs are sent.
11. Select Include All Log Information to have all information included in the log report. If not selected, only readable column data is sent.
12. If finished configuring settings on this page, click Accept.

    Clicking on Show Log Monitor displays you all the system logs.
