Managing Messages

The Messages page displays a limited number of important administrator actions recorded such as installation of a software package, failure to establish or maintain connectivity with a remote syslog server, Power-On Self Test (POST) errors, and other noteworthy events.

These events will result in a message being displayed at the next administrative Web interface or CLI sign-in.

The log of the actions recorded includes the following:

• The user initiating the action and the action being initiated.
• The time of the action.
• The results of the action (success/failure).

Note

Messages starting with “POST” are Power-On Self Test events. If you repeatedly get POST errors, the cryptographic module of the encoder or decoder may be compromised, and it is recommended to re-installed the firmware.

To view the messages:

1. On the Administration page, click Security on the navigation bar and Messages on the sidebar. 
   The Messages page opens displaying the log.
   

   

2. To delete the messages, click Delete All. The messages will be deleted immediately.
