# Log File Report

## Overview

The log file is a record of any detected module or system errors and the date and time of any system resets. An excerpt from a sample Log File Report for a single-module system is shown here.

Note: Support for multiple-module servers (e.g. NPM UM 640) was discontinued with NuPoint Release 6.0.

## Reading the Logfile Report

The logfile maintains the following format:

<sitecode><m> <tid>(task_name>) <date> <time>: <error message> <code>

<sitecode> | Site code assigned to module (serial output only)
<m> | Module where failure occurred
<tid> | Task ID of program reporting problem
<task_name> | Name of system resource
<date> | Date of occurrence
<time> | Time of occurrence
<error message> | Type of error that occurred (may also indicate resets and other system activity)
<code> | Failure code

If you are unsure of the meaning or importance of any logfile message, do not clear the logfile until you consult with the system technician or your distributor.
