Is there a way to automatically collect the log files from a AirPort or TimeCapsule base station?

Hi there,
the headline says basically all: Is there a way to collect the log files from a Time Capsule 7 AirPort from time to time? They are overwritten quite soon but I want a complete log of all activities to my access point.
The AirPort Utility says something about SNMP. Is this the way to go? Some kind of demon on my Mac that retrieves and saves the logs like every two days?
I want to copy the access logs, I am not interested in Time Machine backup logs.
Thanks.

There is a way to do this via Syslog. On the Logging & Statistics panel (within the AirPort Utility), you can point the AirPort's system logs to a Syslog "server."
This would require a "dedicated" network client to receive the logs.
Unfortunately, setting up a Syslog server is a bit intensive initially, but is simple to operate and maintain.
Please check out this Apple Support Communities thread: Directing Syslog message to a file
ref: Enable an Apple Mac OS machine as a syslog server

  • Is there a way to automate generating the documentat​ion from a function panel?

    We have some DLL projects which contain function panel (.fp) files.  We link a help file to the DLL so that we can call up the help file when using TestStand.  As part of the build, we have to manually run Options -> Generate Documentation -> HTML.  Then we load the .hhp file into the Microsoft tool HTML Help Workshop and select File -> Compile to generate a .chm file.  Then in LabWindows/CVI we can build our DLL with links to the .chm help file.
    Has anyone been able to automate this?  It seems like it would be convenient to generate the help file in the Pre-build actions section of the Build Steps for the project.
    Note: this slightly more convoluted process of generating the .chm file replaces the old method of generating a .hlp file from within LabWindows/CVI.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks, Luis.  After generating the ActiveX interface to the CVI server, I was able to write a small command line program that calls GenHtmlHelpFromFPFile.
    To generate the .chm file from the .hhp file, there's an executable provided by the HTML Help Workshop (hhc.exe).  It only seems to work if you run it from the HTML Help Workshop directory, though.  We have the following Build Steps:
    cd "C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop"
    hhc.exe %CVIPROJDIR%\name_of_fp_file.fp

  • Is there a way to re-create the *.cp file from a published *.exe?

    While looking to update a Captivate 3 tutorial that was published as an EXE, we discovered the original Captivate file had been lost.
    Is there a way to extract/re-create a Captivate file from the published EXE?

    Very sorry, but I'm afraid that it is not possible,

  • Is there any way to automate converting just sln files from VS2008 to VS2013 ?

    My general problem is that we have a large number (approaching 300) of "local" sln files that have not been converted from VS2008 to VS2013 although their underlying vcproj files have (so they are now really vcxproj / vcxproj.filters pairs). 
    This happened because these projects were converted along with "global" sln files that also contain these projects and are in fact used to build product.  The "local" sln files are more geared toward development, so the idea has
    been to upgrade them over time as they need to be worked with in VS, which is still an option.  It should also be noted that these "local" upgrades must be done so that they do not redo the vcxproj files in any way or needed adaptations get
    zapped and must be redone by hand.
    So ... does anyone have a suggestion how to automate the conversion of these remaining sln files
    without affecting the connected proj files?  devenv /upgrade does not seem to have the ability to leave the proj files alone unless I am misreading.

    Hi A Jarrett,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I sugegst you will need to check if if
    these files can be created in VS2013. 
    Since the VS2008 is really old version, and generally we open an old project with the closed VS version, for example, I sugegst you could check whether you could open all files in VS2010, and then test it with VS2013.
    In addition, I suggest you can try to open the your project solution using File | Open Project... and then pass the path to the solution project file check this issue again.
    I find a similar thread about how to convert project from old version VS to VS2013, you can try the jsck's suggestion to check your issue.

  • Where can i see the log files from an airport express with the new airport program 6.0 ?

    hello together,
    does anybody know whre i can see the logfiles from an ape with the new airport utility '?

    You cannot see them because they are not there in AirPort Utility 6.0
    You can see them if you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Keep both AirPort Utility 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and use the one that you like.

  • Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

    Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2?  iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

    Hi rhyolite,
    In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
    The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

  • Is there any way to automate purging Application Logging in azure storage account tables

    is there any way to automate purging Application Logging in azure storage account tables
    Rohit Pasrija

    hi Rohit,
    If you want to delete old data automatically, I think you need develop this feature by yourself. You could code the logic methods on your project, and set a timer to execute the methods to delete old data. Please refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13602629/is-it-possible-to-acces-a-table-storage-in-azure-from-an-azure-web-site
    ), you could operate table storage data using azure sdk or REST API.
    Please try it.
    Regards,
    Will

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

    I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?
    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

  • How to make SSIS packages automatically read the input file from a path?

    Currently I am using a SSIS package to read data from a .dat file and load it into SQL Server tables.
    I am placing the input .dat file on the desktop. In the connection manager -> Browse option, I am pointing this file to create connection.
    The file naming convention is like - aSNAP_Data_20140926_P-2014-09-26_07.02.36
    However, I need the SSIS package to automatically read the input file from a folder which is located in a remote server. This folder has lots of files where input files are added on a daily basis with the date value in the file name as mentioned above.
    I want to schedule the SSIS package to run daily and take the latest file in the folder based on the date.
    Please let me know how to do it. Any help would be highly appreciated.....
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi SQL_SSIS_Dev,
    According to your description, you want to get the latest file from a path to a SQL Server table. After testing the issue in my environment, we can refer to the following steps to achieve your requirement:
    Create two variables, VarFolderPath stores the folder path in which our files exist, VarFileName hold the value of most recent File Name.
    Drag a Script Task from SSIS Toolbox to Control Flow Pane, then select “User::VarFolderPath” as ReadOnlyVariables, select “User::VarFileName” as ReadWriteVariables.
    Then Edit Script with the C# code below:
    Add “using System.IO;” into namespace.
    Add the code below under Main function:
    var directory= new DirectoryInfo(Dts.Variables["User::VarFolderPath"].Value.ToString());
                FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles();
                DateTime lastModified = DateTime.MinValue;
                foreach (FileInfo file in files)
                    if (file.LastWriteTime > lastModified)
                        lastModified = file.LastWriteTime;
                        Dts.Variables["User::VarFileName"].Value = file.ToString();
    Drag a Data Flow Task to Control Flow Pane and connect to Script Task.
    In the Data Flow Task, drag a Flat File Source with a file in the source folder as all the files have same structure as the File name.
    Add the property below the Flat File Connection Manger expression:
    Property: ConnectionString      Expression: @[User::VarFolderPath] +"\\"+ @[User::VarFileName]
    Drag an OLE DB Destination that connect to the Flat File Source, then configure a table to store the data.
    The following screenshot is for your reference:
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • Find the log files from EIM?

    Please, tell me where I can find the log files from EIM.
    I have already checked the directory /siebel/siebsrvr/log but the files there are old.
    Regards, Slavi

    You need to configure the log level and events for the EIM component.
    You can go to Administration Server Configuration > Servers and choose the EIM Component.

  • Is there a way to automatically open the Activity Viewer & make it float?

    I just upgraded from Panther Mail, and I really miss knowing what was going on and having to constantly open the activity viewer and reordering the windows every time I do something. Is there a way to somehow make the activity viewer open with mail each time and keep it floating above the other windows (so I can have an indication of what's going on like in Panther Mail)?
    I'm afraid I'm going to shut mail down in the middle of a crucial activity. No doubt that might well be behind all the problems that develop with it over time.
    Thanks!

    I had two problems relating directly to the Tiger upgrade, one I solved with help here. That was importing saved mail that failed to be imported into one mailbox, the saved messages were showing up as IMAP messages ("haven't been downloaded from the server yet"). When both my accounts were POP, I never even had an IMAP account. I solved that and everything else with mail is fine now, except I want to see what's going on like I was able to in Panther. I especially miss not seeing outgoing mail sent progress, especially with long messages.
    The other issue was font related, and I still cannot get Fontbook to save the fonts I have disabled, so I just removed the duplicates manually (leaving the ones in the system folder as the defaults). As long as I don't open fontbook again, and it doesn't automatically re-enable the fonts, my system is fine. I will leave it alone now for a couple of years like I was able to in Panther. I have over 3000 fonts installed and available at all times which I need for my print work.
    Other than that and a 25 minute log-in time (as it reads the fonts; in Panther it was 7 minutes and I learned to live with that) everything is finally ok.
    The long log-in might also be Spotless related; I don't know enough about it to figure it out; all I know is if it is, it is a small price to pay for the way the system flies not having to index all my loaded drives all the time, not to mention the wear and tear on my drives.
    Tiger is so much faster than Panther (once I shut down Spotlight) it's like having a processor upgrade. Once you work out all the glitches, it's definitely worth the money and time put in. I was very careful with the install... counting backup time the usual precautions and updates to everything afterward (including third-party programs), it took over 30 hours.
    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to automatically control the audio volume on safari? Some streaming video sites (Hulu, in particular), like to try to deafen me with the commercials. And yes, I'm not an idiot, I know that I can manually control the volume.

    I've been searching for some way to automatically control the volume, so the commercials on streaming sites (Hulu, for example), don't deafen me. And yes, I am aware that I can manually control the volume with the volume keys on the keyboard or the slider in the menubar.

    This really frustrates me, small differences between the apps that shouldn't be there.
    I understand you can't change the keyboard shortcuts to be the same/similar, but this is totally different. Let's hope it changes soon.
