7.2.1 Log Retriever

This application is used to configure the parameters of log retrieval. The default parameters are explained below.

• Retrieval start and end time: Secure and operational logs will be polled from the screen server between 5:00 AM and 9:00 AM, which is often a time a server is not playing any content.

• Realtime Interval: The Log Retrieval service collects real time operation logs from screen

servers and store them in a database for quick viewing in the SM Viewer user interface. This parameter represents the real time logs retrieving interval. By default, the TMS will collect every 5 minutes. Note that the real time operational logs collection is delayed when a server is in playback mode to avoid any conflict with playback.

• Booking Time: This is the time at which the requested day logs will start. By default, the Log Retrieval service will collect the secure and operation logs of each server for events happening between 04:00:00 and 04:00:01 of the previous day.

• Past days: This is the number of days in the past to look and retrieve log files that have not been downloaded. By default, the Log Retrieval service will go back 10 days in the past.
