The System Log option enables you to view and export system activity entries immediately in the Manager log files. By default, this information includes performed actions, system faults, and debug data. You can customize the log query to display only the data you want to see, such as debug data only or Warning-level faults only. Each log file is numbered incrementally based on the recorded data. Once the files exceed 3MB, a backup file is created (ems.log.1, ems.log.2, etc.) and the latest logs are available in the ems.log file.
By default, the log files are located at <Manager_Install_Dir>/app/logs/<all log files>.
Note
For more information on System Log files, see System Files.
Note that in Central Manager, the System Log option functions are similar to that in Manager described above.
Note
Only Super Users, System Administrators, and Security Experts can view the system log.
Note
Only log files smaller than 4 MB can be viewed or exported from within the user interface. Larger files must be accessed directly via the file system.
