Web Tools system logs

A session automatically ends if no information was sent to the switch for more than two hours.

Because user key strokes are not sent to the switch until you apply or save the information, it is

possible for your session to end while you are entering information in the interface. For example,

entering a zoning scheme in the Zoning module does not require you to send information to the

switch until you save the scheme.

Web Tools does not display a warning when the session is about to time out. If your session ends

due to inactivity, all Web Tools windows become invalid and you must restart Web Tools and log in

again.

Web Tools enables sessions to both secure and nonsecure switches.

Access rights for your session are determined by your role-based access rights and by the contents

of your selected Admin Domain. After you log in, you can change to a different Admin Domain at any

time. However, you cannot change your role-based permissions.

Ending a Web Tools session

To end a Web Tools session, perform one of the following actions:

• Select Manage > Logout.

• Click the X in the upper-right corner of the Switch Explorer window to close it.

• Close all open Web Tools windows.

Web Tools system logs

Web Tools uses the log4j framework to write the logs into a file

When you launch Web Tools for the first time, it automatically creates the following directories.

These directories are created under Web Tools directory if they are not available:

• A <Web Tools> directory under the user home directory.

• The Web Tools Switch Support Save directory with the name format <Core Switch Name-Switch

IP Address-Switch WWN>.

The Web Tools Switch Support Save directory contains the following files:

• Log4j.xml

• WebTools.log

• SwitchInfo.txt

The SwitchInfo.txt file contains the following basic switch information:

• Switch Name

• Fabric OS version

• Switch Type

• Ethernet Ipv4

• Ethernet IPv4 subnet mask

• Ethernet IPv4 gateway
