Digital Fingerprints : Administering Digital Fingerprints : Fingerprints Log Viewer
  
Fingerprints Log Viewer
The Fingerprints Log holds records that help monitor events related to the management and processing of fingerprints in the DeviceLock Enterprise Server. Events caused by the following actions are logged:
•Changing fingerprints-related server settings, such as versioning thresholds (see Fingerprinting Options) or custom classifications (see Managing Classifications).
•Administering fingerprints-creation tasks (see Fingerprinting Tasks), such as starting, completing, adding, changing or deleting tasks, or deleting task execution reports.
•Adding fingerprints by tasks (see Fingerprinting Tasks) or by hand (see Adding Fingerprints Manually).
•Deleting fingerprints and/or their versions (see Viewing Fingerprint List, Viewing Detailed Fingerprint Information).
•Processing fingerprints-related client requests, such as checking fingerprints upon request from DeviceLock Service or Discovery Agent (see Applying Digital Fingerprints). The log provides information about processing start and completion, and about errors if any occurred during request processing.
The information held in this log helps track changes to fingerprint management options and tasks, and facilitates the troubleshooting of issues related to fingerprint management and application.
