DynaLog Server Event Log Messages for System Administrators
The DynaLog Server runs in the Local System user account and does not require a user logged
on to use it. DynaLog writes any error messages directly to the Application Event Log using the
Source name “DynaLog”. There are five event categories, listed below. These names show in the
Application Event Log in the Category column. They are basic indicators of the severity of the
event. Fatal Error and Action Required type events likely will need intervention from the system
administrator. Information events don’t require any action. Data Reliability errors may or may not
correct themselves, and therefore may require intervention.
Event types will show in the Application Event Log “Type” column and can be either Error,
Warning, or Information.
Event ID’s as seen in the Application Event Log “Event” column begin at ID # 6 (see Messages
section). Most of the events indicate that an error of some kind occurred, and they will include
detailed information about the error. Following each Event Message listed below are the Event
Type followed by the Event category, enclosed in parentheses.
Event Categories:
1 – Fatal Error
2 – Action Required
3 – Data Reliability
4 – Action Recommended
5 – Information
Event Messages:
6 - Error in TCP Receive event. A DynaLog Viewer file request encountered an error while
searching the log file path or while attempting to send the file size and file contents. The error
details are: <error detail message> (Error, Data Reliability)
7 - Warning in TCP Receive event. A new CC-5000 connection could not determine the CC-5000
print width due to a "Val" exception. Print width is being defaulted to 40. Station Information:
<station ID> (Warning, Data Reliability)
8 - Error in TCP Receive event CC-5000 log file search/create. The error is: <error detail
message> (Error, Data Reliability)
9 - Error in InitServer() - invalid server port entry in DynaLog.ini. (Error, Fatal Error)
10 - Error in TCP Receive event. A DynaLog Viewer file list request encountered an error while
retrieving the list of log files or while attempting to send the file list to a Viewer. The error details
are: <error detail message> (Error, Data Reliability)
11 - Warning in InitServer() - invalid Outgoing Ping Interval entry in DynaLog.ini. The interval has
been forced to: <interval value> (Warning, Action Recommended)
12 - The DynaLog Server has begun listening for clients on port: <port number> (Information,

14 - The DynaLog Server was unable to instantiate the Server control, in InitServer(). This may
require a reinstallation of DynaLog. The error details are: <error detail message> (Error, Fatal
Error)
15 - The DynaLog Server encountered a problem while setting File I/O permissions to access the
CC-5000 Log Files folder. The Log Files folder may have been deleted or renamed. No logging or
viewing can be done until this is corrected. The error details are: <error detail message> (Error,
Fatal Error)
16 - The DynaLog Server archiving service has been stopped. (Information, Information)
17 - Error in TCP Receive event. A DynaLog Viewer file request was unable to clear the previous
stream to create a new one. The error details are: <error detail message> (Error, Data Reliability)
18 - Error in TCP Receive event. An error has occurred during the test for an existing stream
reference for a CC-5000 station. Station Information: <station ID>. Error detail: <error detail
message>. (Error, Data Reliability)
19 - Error in TCP Receive event. An error has occurred during the string splitting and formatting
process for incoming journal data from a CC-5000 station. Station Information: <station ID>. Error
detail: <error detail message> (Error, Data Reliability)
20 - Error in TCP Receive event. An error has occurred during a CC-5000 data stream write to
the log file for that station. This can occur if the log file was deleted or moved while the DynaLog
service was running. Station Information: <station ID>. Error detail: <error detail message> (Error,
Data Reliability)
21 - The DynaLog Server ErrorEvent has logged a Dart Communications network-related error.
The error number is <error number>. The error description is: <error detail message> (Error,
either a Fatal Error or Data Reliability depending on the error type)
22 - A new CC-5000 or DynaLog Viewer client has just connected to the DynaLog Server. The
client's IP address is: <IP address>. (Information, Information)
23 - An existing CC-5000 or DynaLog Viewer client has just been disconnected from the DynaLog
Server. For CC-5000's, this may be due to a LAN cable disconnection or the CC-5000 may have
been powered off. For Viewers, the disconnection generally means that the Viewer application
was closed by the user. The disconnected client's IP address is: <IP address>. (Information,
Information)
24 - The DynaLog Server ErrorEvent has logged a Dart Communications network-related error.
This error is likely due to a DynaLog Viewer closing or a CC-5000 being powered off, in which
case it is considered a normal event. However, it could indicate something more serious. The
error number is <error number>. The error description is: <error detail message> >. (Information,
Information)
25 - Error in TCP Receive event. An error has occurred during a CC-5000 data stream output to a
connected DynaLog Viewer. Station Information: <station ID>. Error detail: <error detail
message> (Error, Data Reliability)
26 - Error in TCP Send event. An error has occurred during the Archive File List output to a
connected DynaLog Viewer. Error detail: <error detail message> (Error, Data Reliability)
27 - Error in TCP Send event. An error has occurred during an initial log file output (past the 8K
buffer boundary) to a connected DynaLog Viewer. Error detail: <error detail message> (Error,
Data Reliability)

28 - An error has occurred in the DynaLog Server service timer event. The error details are:
<error detail message> (Error, Action Recommended)
29 - An error has occurred in the DynaLog Server client creation event. The client TCP
connection may not have instantiated correctly. The error details are: <error detail message>
(Error, Fatal Error)
30 - An error has occurred in the DynaLog Server client destroy event. The client TCP class had
an error while setting its objects to Nothing. The error details are: <error detail message> (Error,
Fatal Error)
31 - Error in InitServer() - an exception occurred while the DynaLog service initialization
attempted to delete leftover Index Files (FileList.*). This should not affect operation of DynaLog,
but it indicates a possible file system problem. The error details are: <error detail message>
(Warning, Action Recommended)
