NetGong provides log files to help keep track of your network resources availability in an easy to view list. Logging options include logging all test results to the NetGong event log, to a text file, or to a dynamically created HTML page. Any combination of logging options can be used.

You can use the log files to review precisely what happened during a particular time period.

2.Click the Options button.
