Section 5.0 Logs and Log Events
A Rivendell log is a sequence of one or more events to be executed by the system,
arranged in chronological order. (This functionality is sometimes referred to as a playlist
in other automation systems). Several different types of events can be included in a log,
along with parameters governing how and under what circumstances they will be
executed.
Upon startup, RDLogEdit will show the current list of all logs on the system, as in
Illustration 19. A number of important attributes of logs can be seen from this
illustration, the first being the log name, with a summary status indicator next to it. The
name is an alpha-numeric label that is used as a unique “handle” by the system to
reference each log, and can be up to a maximum of 64 characters long. The status
indicator is intended as a quick visual guide as to whether a particular log is ready for air
(green check mark) or not (red ex).
Next comes the log's description. This is a free-form alpha-numeric label that can be
used to record any information that might be useful to have appear on the log list (e.g.
“This log for Sunday's show, don't modify!”).
