XBee Industrial Gateway log files and contents

By default, logging on XBee Industrial Gateway is always enabled and is not user-configurable. When a Digi device operates in an unexpected manner, you can send the log entries to Digi for analysis by Technical Support and Engineers. The event log cannot be turned off, so that Digi receives an accurate view of all aspects of the operation of the device.

The Message Filters for Displayed Log File section on the System Message Log File Browser page in the web interface displays available message filters for each log file type. These message filters allow Digi Technical Support to quickly find areas of interest in the log file when working with customers on troubleshooting issues.

Use the available XBee Industrial Gateway system log files to debugging specific parts of the system. These log files have a fixed size and roll over when they reach their maximum size. When the file rolls over, a single secondary file is created with the extension .0. For example, when eventlog.txt rolls over, the older data will be stored in eventlog.txt.0. When both files reach their maximum size, the older file will be overwritten. Also note that many of the log files are stored in persistent memory (flash) and will contain data from multiple boots. The only exception is xbee.log, which is stored in a RAM disk.
