| Context |
This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'Logging Menu'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.
ZOC maintains multiple different logging methods. There are two memory logging mechanisms which are found in the View Menu. The log menu itself features permanent logging functions, i.e. logging to disk file and printer.
The so called Log File that logs all incoming data permanently to a file on the hard disk. The other is redirecting all incoming data directly to the printer. The last one, the call log, logs time, duration, cost and file transfers of your calls to a file (see Options→Program Settings→Special Files→Calls Log).
The Logging Menu controls the capture, log file and printer logging.
| Log to File | |
This function changes the toggles the status of logging between on and
off. This can also be achieved by clicking on the capture name in the
Status Line and can be done remotely if your
host supports the DC2/DC4 logging protocol (see
Options→Session Profile→Logging options).
| |
| Log to Printer | |
Sometimes it is handy to have part of a session sent to the printer. This is possible by enabling this function before receiving the data (e.g. before reading a mail).
Additionally it is possible to print already received
text, by opening the capture window (see Logging Menu),
marking the text with the mouse (to copy it to the clipboard). and printing
the contents of the clipboard from the Edit Menu.
| |
| Set Logfile Name | |
Set the name of the current log file. The name can be automatically
selected from the host directory when connecting to a host (when starting ZOC the
log file gets its name from Options→Session Profile→Logging options).
You may use special placeholders for the name as described
in placeholder codes and in
Options→Session Profile→Logging.
| |
| Use Default Logfile Name | |
This sets the log file to the file defined in
Options→Session Profile→Logging options.
| |
| Delete Log Files | |
Since you can build log file names that contain the current date you might end up with a lot of log files. Using this function lets you delete log files you do not need any more. Selecting this function will open a file requester in which you can select one or more files which will be deleted if you press OK. | |
