Viewing System Logs

You can view system logs from the Management Console and use the system log filters to sort through system log entries.

About this task

When you upgrade, the Management Console does not persist system logs. To retain system log information, export system logs before you upgrade.

Note: The Management Console displays a maximum of 99,999 system log entries. When the number of system log entries exceeds 99,999, the oldest log entry is deleted from the system log.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, select Logs > System Log. The System Log page is displayed.
  2. Choose the filter values from the lists at the top of the System Log page. You can filter the log entries according to the level of severity for the event, the environment system that generated the log event, dates, and resolution state. The filters use AND logic.

System Log Content

The system log provides the following information:

Clear the checkbox next to any log events that are not resolved and the Resolved On and Resolved By values are cleared.
