when an event occurs, and clears Red events. (See Define RED Events in the
following paragraphs.)
ERASE LOG FILES
The SysLog utility, by default, stores all messages of a certain priority in a
specified local log file or facility. These files are named LOCAL0.txt,
LOCAL1.txt, LOCAL2.TXT, and so on. To erase the file, click on this menu.
DEFINE RED EVENTS
The Red events feature allows the user to predefine a
message priority condition so that if the condition oc-
curs, the file is highlighted in red. In the figure shown
here, any LOCAL0 through LOCAL7 facility becomes
highlighted in red if a C
RITICAL

mes-
sage is received. This feature allows a user to quickly lo-
cate problem units during troubleshooting.
