Zen Master maintains a log of all events such as connections, errors, disconnections etc. Events for a specific resource (i.e. ZEC, Feeder, Broadcaster or Receiver) or ZEN Master entity (i.e. source, channel or target) can be viewed in the Events tab of the relevant entity. The complete list of events can be viewed on the Logs > Events screen. You can filter the results by several different parameters.

  

The event descriptions include the following details:

Parameter

Description

Event Type Indicator

Event types are:

  • Red (Error) – an error in the system.
  • Yellow (Warning) – an event that raises concern about the performance of the system.
  • Blue (Info)  – a change in the system that does not raise concern and user actions.
  • Green (OK) - a procedure was implemented effectively.
  • Gray (System activity) – an activity was done in the system, such as creating or deleting a system entity.

Shows the type of object (e.g. Broadcaster Cluster, Adaptive Channel, Source, etc.) followed by the name of the specific instance of the relevant object.

A brief description of the event. For error events, specifies the cause of the error and suggests corrective actions.

Actions

For events that are not an OK state, display the following actions:

    • To create a new profile - perform the modifications (see Configuring Events Profiles for more details), under Update Current Profile, select Create New, click Update Current Profile.
