Event logging
Your meter records meter functions, events and changes to meter parameters and
logs them as entries in the event log.
Event logs entries are timestamped and user-related events are associated with the
username that was logged into the meter. Security-related events such as resets,
successful or unsuccessful login attempts, user lockout or meter configuration
changes are also recorded in the event log along with a timestamp and the username
associated with the event. The event log can be used to monitor system events, assist
in confirming security compliance, or assist in tracking unauthorized intrusion attempts.

Syslog
This feature allows you to push event log information to a centralized syslog server.
When the event log of a meter is full, new log entries can overwrite existing entries. By
pushing the event log information to a syslog server, older event log information can be
preserved and used as part of an information storage and retrieval strategy.
Advanced security through the meter’s display
Advanced security is available through the meter’s display.
When advanced security is enabled on your meter, user privileges created through
ION Setup are enforced through the meter’s display. When advanced security is
enabled, changes to meter configuration are associated with the username that is
logged into the meter. The advanced security password used to access the meter uses
an expanded character set, allowing for a more robust password.
