Console Properties Notebook: Log Page

If you are signed on with administrative authority, you can use the Log page to change the following properties associated with the topology console log:

Maximum items
Enter the maximum number of items, such as messages and command responses, that you want to display in the log.
Minimum time item displayed
Specify how long (in hours and minutes) you want items to be displayed before they are automatically removed from the log, after the maximum number of items is exceeded.
Minimum time for incomplete items
Specify how long (in hours and minutes) you want incomplete items (uncorrelated responses) to be displayed before they are automatically removed from the log, when the maximum number of items is exceeded.
Colors
To change the color of the types of items displayed in the topology console log, such as messages or commands, click on the arrow beside the type of item the color for which you want to change. You will see a color palette in which you can select the color you want to use for that type of item. Use the Log help page for additional assistance.

Use the Auto show checkboxes for each item to indicate which of the following you want the log to do:

Auto show off
Do not show the log automatically.
Auto show attached
Show the log as being attached if it is not currently displayed.
Auto show tear away
Show the log as being torn-away if it is not currently displayed.
Force show tear away
Show the log as being torn-away regardless of whether or not it is currently displayed.

Note: The console log must be currently open, but not minimized, for this function to work properly. Updates will not show dynamically if the console log is not open or is minimized.

Default
To reset the defaults for this page to the system defaults, click the first Default button.
Save properties as system defaults
To have your settings become the default settings for other consoles attached to the same server, click Save properties as system defaults if you are signed on with administrative authority. The new settings will take effect for each user the next time he or she signs on. However, if a user has changed properties, these changes override any changes saved by the administrator.
Note: The new default settings become active for all consoles opened after the change is applied. The current console and any opened prior to the implementation of the change retain the settings they had prior to the change. To have the new default values take effect for these consoles, close the consoles and reopen them.

When you are finished with this page, select another tab to go to a different page, or click one of the following buttons:

OK
To exit the notebook and apply your changes.
Apply
To apply your changes, but keep the notebook open.
Default
To reset properties for all pages in this notebook to the system defaults.
Cancel
To exit the notebook without making changes.
