If you happen to use Advanced Web Ranking every day and you have many projects that are updated regularly using the scheduler, you may lose track of what's happening behind the scene. That's where the Event Logger comes to help. It will tell you exactly what happened, at what time, and whether everything went fine or not. It can even send you an email automatically when certain event types occur.
There are many events that are logged by the Event Logger. Here's a list of actions that can add an entry to the list:
Scheduled Updates
Multiple Scheduled Updates
Sending Emails
FTP Uploads
Generating Reports
Application Errors
All the events are presented to you in the Event Log Viewer:
Knowing what happens is especially useful when running updates from the scheduler because the update is done in the background, so you have no way of knowing what actually happened.
As you can see from the picture above, you have the option to display all the logged events, or you can filter them by selecting a specific year and month.
You can also have certain events sent to you by email. Just click on the Edit button to select which event types you wish to receive.
The events have been broken down in three separate categories, depending on their status:
Error - This usually means something wrong has happened and needs your immediate attention.
Warning - This may be a possible problem, or a setting that has been set incorrectly.
Information - This is used for notification of an action that has been done.
