Viewing Event Logs
Prior to running a test, or during a test run, you can specify the types of events you want displayed in the Event Log Data window. You configure the event log in the Run Configure tab, and view the event log from the Run Monitor tab.
To view Event logs:
- Click the Run tab, followed by the Configure tab.
- Select one of the following levels from the Event Logs Level drop-down menu:
NOTE: If you set the Event Logs Level to 0 (Debug) or 1 (Info), you may see a degradation in performance because of the large number of logs being generated.
- 0 (Debug): Provides low-level programmatic information for troubleshooting the system
- 1 (Info): Provides informational messages, such as software version number
- 2 (Status): Provides status messages, such as the status of connecting to a device
- 3 (Warning): Provides warnings, such as parsing errors in user-defined text
- 4 (Error): Provides error conditions that may cause a test to fail
- 5 (Exception): Provides exception conditions generated by the software.
The default level is 3 (Warning).
When you select a level number, its events, plus those of all the higher levels are displayed. For example, if you select 3 (Warning), then events for 3, 4, and 5 are displayed. If you select 0 (Debug), then events for all levels are displayed.
- Click the Run Test icon
. - Click the Event Logs button in the Run Monitor tab to view the Event Log Data window.
- To change the types of events displayed during or after a test run, repeat Step 3, and re-display (close and re-open) the Event Log Data window.
- Click Ok to close the Event Log Data window.
NOTE: Event log data is saved for each test run, based on the Event Logs Level. You can access the event log file (called event.log) by Analyzing Test Results in the Results tab.
