Log File Report

Overview

The log file is a record of any detected module or system errors and the date and time of any system resets. An excerpt from a sample Log File Report for a single-module system is shown here.

Note: Support for multiple-module servers (e.g. NPM UM 640) was discontinued with NuPoint Release 6.0.
