Log File Template
This template creates a configuration that reports the status of the local device to a log file. It can be found in the STATUS REPORT category when filtered for LOCAL platform.
deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your local environment. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your local environment.
We will perform the following steps:
Step 1: Prerequisites
If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Local guide and complete step 1 to 4 and then continue here with step 2 below.
