The Log File Notifier Adapter writes notifications (that it subscribes to) to a file. This notification file can include event notifications (including cleared events). The output is a single line with the following fields:

Current_Time 
Event_Type 
Class_Name 
Affected_Instance_Name 
Event_Name 
Certainty 
Event_Description

The notifier saves the notification file to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/logs directory. By default, the name of the file is:

<InCharge_Manager>-alarms.log

Log File Notifier Adapter illustrates how the Log File Notifier Adapter receives notifications and adds them to a notification file.
