Event Logging

The event log file is set up in the same manner as data log files, and it may also be delivered via email. The two main differences with the event log is the file format (still CSV but with different data), and the source of the data logged. Data logging allows you to check off a list of data objects to log. Event logging allows you to check off any of the defined threshold rules for logging.

The "High Temperature" example checked off for event logging above was set up with a threshold rule like shown below. It is not necessary to include a destination register in the threshold rule when the rule's only purpose is logging or notification.
