The "Archiver" tab (Fig.4.6h) contains the basic settings. The structure of these settings may differ slightly from one module to another one of this subsystem as you can find in the own documentation of the modules. As an example we shall examine the settings of the message archiver from the module of the archiving on the file system Arch.FSArch Settings:
- Section "State" — contains the properties, which characterize the archiver state:
- Running — archiver state "Running". The running archiver processes the buffer of the message archive and puts his data in its repository, but also it processes requests for access to data in the repository.
- Storage — the archiver's data storage, with tracking the availability of the data in different storages and providing the sequentially removing duplicates.
- End and Begin of the archiver — date and time of the end and start of data in the archiver repository.
- Overall size of the archiver files — information about the total size of the archiver files with the data.
- Archiving time — current and maximum time spent on the archiving of data of the message archive.
- Section "Configuration" — directly contains the configuration fields:
- Identifier — information on the archiver identifier.
- Name — indicates the archiver name.
- Description — brief description of the archiver and its purpose.
- To start — indicates the state "Running" in which to transfer the archiver at the program startup.
- Message categories — list of categories of messages, separated by ';'. Messages matched with the templates or regular expressions of categories will be processed by the archiver. In the category you can specify the elements of selection by template, that is the characters '*' — for any string and '?' — for any character, as well as a regular expression enclosed between the symbols '/' (/mod_(System|LogicLev)/).
- Messages level — indicates the level of the archiver messages. Messages with the level greater than or equal to the specified one are processed by the archiver — taken from the buffer.
- Address — address of the storage in the specific for the type of archiver (module) format. The format description usually available in the tooltip for this field. In the example it is the relative path to the storage directory.
- Section "Additional options" — a specialized section for the module, the contents of which can be found in the documentation for the module.
