Viewing and managing the tasks log
The tasks log provides information about events such as task creation, modification, and deletion; search start and finish (including the number of items found); and any errors that occur during task management or execution.
When DeviceLock Content Security Server > Search Server > Tasks > Log Viewer is selected in the console tree, the console lists events with the following information on each one:
•Type - Event type indicates one of the following:
•Success - Task or operation completed successfully.
•Information - Certain action performed.
•Warning - A problem might occur unless action is taken.
•Error - A problem has occurred.
•Date/Time - Date and time that the event occurred.
•Event - Identifies the event ID number.
•Task Name - Identifies the search task that caused the event.
•Information - A description of the event that includes details of the actions performed and errors encountered.
•Server - Identifies the computer on which the event has occurred.
•Record N - Sequence number of the event record in the list.
To manage the log, right-click in the list of events, and then use the following commands from the shortcut menu that appears:
•Settings - View or change the settings that limit the maximum number of event records the log may contain. See also
Managing log settings.
•Save - Saves the log to a file. The console prompts for the file name and location.
•Refresh - Updates the list of events with the latest information.
•Filter - Display only the events that match the conditions set. See also
Filtering the log.
•Quick filters - Point to this command and then click one of the following to limit the list to the events that occurred during:
•Current day - Shows the events logged during the current calendar day.
•Current week - Shows the events logged during the current calendar week.
•Current month - Shows the events logged during the current calendar month.
•Current year - Shows the events logged during the current calendar year.
To cancel the quick filter that has been applied, select the same filter option again or use the Remove filter command.
A regular filter enabled by the Filter command disables quick filters, and cancels the current quick filter (if any was applied). To enable quick filters, disable the regular filter (for example, by using the Remove filter command).
•Remove filter - Show all records by disabling the currently applied filter.
•Clear - Deletes all events in the tasks log. Also adds a deletion event to the tasks log, indicating the number of events that were deleted.
