...

If a .BAT or .PS1 script needs to be executed, a button will appear to edit the script. If the script does not exist, a skeleton one will be created. This script is located in the Charon Log Monitor installation folder.

4 - If needed, you can use the Email settings tab to specify who you want to send emails to + from who. If the sender account needs a password, you'll need to click the "Save" button (does not work with PowerShell 4.0, 5.1 only). It is recommended to use the "Test email alert" button to ensure emails are correctly sent. If the test email is not received, please check the service log from the "Service log" tab.

Virtual machines must exist and be created using the Charon Virtual Machine Manager utility.

Right click on one of them to either enable/disable log monitoring or start/stop the emulator, show the console, edit the .cfg file (if notepad++ is installed, it will use it otherwise it's notepad), open the log file, explore the home directory, etc..

...

• Double clicking on a virtual machine name opens the latest log file
• Double clicking on the "Notes" box for a virtual machine opens the "Edit notes" option
• A circle icon in the details box means the log file is using the log rotation mechanism (highly recommended). Mouse hovering on this icon shows the max file size and rotation period if defined.
• Other warning icons can be displayed if:
  • The log counters are enabled or
  • The log file size is greater than the limit specified or
  • The log method is set to overwrite (not recommended) or
  • The configuration file has been updated after the emulator was started (an emulator restart is required for the changes to be taken into account)
• If alerts have been suspended, either manually or due to the limit reached, resuming sending alerts must be done manually
