Log Manager Parameters Window
This window displays parameters for a selected log manager. It is opened from the Edit button when a log
manager is selected in the Available Log Managers area in the Event View Manager window. The window
looks different depending on the type of log manager you have selected: server or local.
Use this window to configure the Poll Interval for the Traps Log Manager and the Syslog Log Manager, and
to configure the Pattern that will be used to interpret (parse) syslog information managed by the Syslog
Manager. You can also use this window to edit parameters for local log managers you have created.
