How to save Terminal data to file

Terminal data of a asset typically refers to the information and status data transmitted from a asset's onboard terminal unit. This data includes various parameters and metrics that are essential for tracking and managing the asset's operations.

On-Site Servers

Please follow the below steps to save the terminal data to a file for on-site servers.

To log terminal data for specific assets using NLog.config, follow these steps:

1. Locate NLog.config File:
Edit the NLog.config file found under `C:\GpsGateServer\Franson NMEA Service`.

2. Update Configuration:
Identify the placeholders in the configuration where "Username" represents the asset's Username and "Protocol" denotes the tracker protocol (e.g., "Teltonika", "Sensorlogic", "Meiligao").

Add the following lines inside `<targets>` and `<rules>`:

<targets>
<target name="terminal.Username" xsi:type="File" layout="${longdate} | ${message}" fileName="C:\GpsGateServer\TerminalLog\${logger} ${shortdate}.log" />
... other targets ...
</targets>

<rules>
<logger name="Terminal.Protocol.Username" minlevel="Info" writeTo="terminal.Username" />
... other rules ...
</rules>

Ensure to replace:
- `"Username"` with the actual Username of the asset you want to log.
- `"Protocol"` with the name of the tracker Protocol used by the asset (e.g., "Teltonika", "Sensorlogic", "Meiligao").

By implementing the above configuration, each day, a new log file will be created for each tracker under `C:\GpsGateServer\TerminalLog\`.


Save the modified NLog.config file after making these additions.

Cloud Servers

For cloud servers, you can copy the terminal data from the terminal window, paste it into a text file, and save the file.
