Re: [foxboro] Unpublished Tip: Sysmon Alarms to a log file

Version 7 systems have a similar logging mechanism for Network Fault 
Detection:
In /opt/fox/sysmgm/nfd, touch nfd_log and nfd_debug.

Same caveats apply, files grow continuously, it's a good idea to have a 
log trimming script running in cron.
