Events

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:
