7.3 Alert Sources
The Event Sources are configured in the Alerts View Options page.
If configured to use a SOM Server, MConsole connects to the SOM Server and starts to
monitor all the event log files for event lines of level Critical, Warning, Fatal and Error.
If configured to use local log files, it will periodically inspect all the files under (LOGDIR)
(that is, /var/isode/log, C:\Isode\log or whatever is configured), as this would be
the place were local events are written.
Once an event is detected, the alert action to perform is determined according to what is
in the configuration. If the new event is found to match one of the events configured in the
Alert Editor, the corresponding set of Alert Actions will be performed.
Isode events are made of a Level, a Facility and a Description, for example
E-MTA-TLSRequired is level "E" (an Error), the facility is "MTA" and the description (or
name) is "TLSRequired".
The Internal MConsole events are Alerts resulting from local MConsole errors (e.g., failure
to connect).
7.3.1 Local Log Files
These are the log files created by the Isode products in (LOGDIR), for example
mta-event.2016-10-02-00-00.log.
7.3.2 SOM Server
If the connection to SOM is lost, a reconnection attempt will be tried periodically. It can
also be triggered by clicking on the SOM Reconnection toolbar button.
The status of the SOM Server connection is shown in the status line, using
connected/disconnected icons.
