Ok, I'll be perfectly happy with being able to view events from the past
day or so.
But I still don't get it I'm afraid. Yoy say that the current events window
shows
events since nvserverd was started. Is that the same as "...the current
NetView
session"? I thought it meant events recieved since I started the gui. In my
"test" I didn't stop/start nvserverd or any other daemon but didn't get
older events than
a few minutes before gui startup anyway. And why doesn't Event History show
more than
slightly older events than the current events window?
If ovevent.log max size is 2 MB, do You have any idea how many events that
could be, aproximatly?
And what about ovevent.log.bak?
Sorry, still somewhat confused...
