Log Settings

In this page, you can make related settings of log files. Log function helps you to create or read log records. CAYIN provides two methods for you to send remote log:

• Send remote log by SYSLOG: Syslog is a standard for computer data logging. It allows log software in your PC to retrieve log records and further analyze them.
• Send remote log by TCP: You have to purchase CAYIN's log management tool, SuperReporter, to collect and manage all log records of players and servers via TCP protocol. If you choose to send log by TCP, log records can be assured to transmit completely without losing packet when SMP is online.

Here, we will introduce the following functions:

• Enable remote log
• Export log
• Clear all logs

Enable Remote Log

1. Go to LOG > Log Settings.
2. Enable remote log function. You can choose to send remote log by Syslog or TCP. If you choose to send remote log by Syslog, you just enter the IP address of your designated server to enable remote log function. If you choose to send remote log by TCP, please enter both the IP address and port number.

   Note
   The default port number is 35000. If you want to change the port number, please refer to the instructions of Use log_rcv to change port number.

3. Then you can select items from log categories to define those log records you would like to keep in the player or server.

   System	system status change or system error
   Network	network status or configuration change
   Media Player	status of media player
   Playback	file name, duration, and status of playback
