Options: General/Notifications

General information

There are three types of notifications available for the user:

• Event window - This is a special window shown when a check is failed or a backup event occurs. This window is a system modal one (over all system windows). It shows the type of the event/check and some information about the check that caused the event. This window is automatically closed after a small period of time if you do not "touch" it with your mouse.
• Tray popup log window - This is another type of window (mostly like the previous one). It shows information about event(s) and appears near the Network Eagle tray icon. It is also automatically closed within a short period of time if you do not click the pin button. A double click on this window will open the main Network Eagle window.
• Tray icon blinking - This is the least annoying notification mechanism for the user. It simply makes the Network Eagle tray icon blink for a short period of time.

Options description

• The Blink in tray and Event window settings - You can select one of the following styles for notification both in the tray and with an event window:
  • Disable - Notification is disabled.
  • On Failed - Notify only when a failure event occurs.
  • On Restore - Notify only when a backup event occurs.
  • On Failed And Restore - Notify when either a backup or fail event occurs.
• Show popup log window - As described above, this window appears near the Network Eagle tray icon. You can disable/enable it by selecting/clearing the check box. Once enabled, the following options become available for this window:
  • Log event types - You can select what types of messages you want to appear in the tray log window.
  • Show log data - Here you can select the files to be shown in the tray log window.

    You can specify the include and exclude criteria. Include criteria - only the messages containing the word/phrase specified in this criterion will be shown. Exclude criteria - if a message contains the word/phrase specified in this criterion, it will be excluded from the log window. You can specify multiple words/phrases in the include/exclude criteria. Multiple words/phrases must be separated by a semicolon.
  • History depth - Specify here the number of message to be shown in the tray log window.
  • Close automatically - The window will be closed after the specified number of seconds.
  • Truncate strings - Messages can be quite long. Here you can specify the maximum number of characters to be displayed in the tray log window. The remaining parts of messages will be truncated.
