When minimized, the Log Monitor main window hides from the task bar. Instead, it is represented by an icon in the System Tray.
Important: When the main window is hidden in the System Tray, the utility continues to monitor node Logger status in the background.

To display the Log Monitor again, double-click the icon.
The System Tray icon indicates the cumulative status of all nodes being monitored. Hovering your cursor over the icon displays the cumulative status as a tooltip. This status is updated automatically anytime there is a change in status information. The cumulative status reflects the following logic:
|
|
Error status |
At least one node has Error status. One or more nodes may have Warning status. |
|
|
Warning status |
At least one node has Warning status but no node has Error status. |
|
|
OK status |
At least one node has OK status and no node has error or warning status. |
|
|
Unable to connect status |
The Log Monitor cannot connect with all nodes in the logger list. |
|
|
Connection lost status |
The Log Monitor has lost connection with all nodes in the logger list. The icon reflects the last cumulative status of all nodes. |
There is no Connecting cumulative status because this is transitory, to be followed eventually by one of the other five statuses. Right-clicking the System Tray icon displays an option menu. For more information, see Option menus.
