The error message is because the ring buffer got full. It is not an
error, rather a diagnostic message. Why can't it prints a proper
diagnostic message like "ring buffer is full" which is easily
understandable ? With the message it gave, I was fooled into thinking
that the logging itself didn't start; But what actually happened, the
logging started and all the buffers were filled, then further logging
will not happen. Instead of clearly mentioning this, it gave a
misleading message that the logging itself didn't start.

Well, one more things, the document mentioned that the buffer bars may
display three colours, orange (buffer is ready to be used),
green(buffer has been used), red(used for circular buffers). I used
linear buffers, but the used buffers displayed blue colour than green.
What dos this signify ? This (blue) colour has not mentioned anywhere.
I'm using workbench 2.4, system viewer 4.7 for vxworks-6.2 .

Can anyone explain this (blue colour) ?
