View EGO log files

Event and audit log files can be viewed through the Platform Management Console.

  1. From the Platform Management Console, navigate to System Logs.
  2. Select Standard Logs.
  3. From Logs (List), select a log from the list (for example, “lim.log”).

    Logs of the selected category are listed for every management host in the cluster.

  4. Under Log retrieval parameters, specify the following:
    1. Optional. Filter the available hosts by typing full or partial host names in the Filter available hosts field.

      The list of available hosts is dynamically filtered as you type to show those hosts containing the same characters/name.

    2. Choose which hosts you want to retrieve and view this log from (for example, all hosts for which you want to view “lim.log” from).
      1. Click a host name from the Available hosts list.

      2. Click Add - > to move this host to the Retrieve logs from these hosts list.

      3. Do this for as many hosts as you want to retrieve logs from.

      Note:

      For performance reasons, there is a limit to the number of hosts you can add to the list. A message alerts you when this limit is reached.

  5. Click Retrieve Log List.
  6. Specify how much of the retrieved log you want to see. Options for retrieved data volume include the following:
    • Complete log

    • Last number of lines (a specified number of lines in the file); if you choose to retrieve a specified number of lines, enter the number in the field beside the drop-down list
      Note:

      You only see the last number of specified lines in the file, not the first.

    A list of logs from the requested hosts displays, along with details including the host on which the log file is located, the log file size, and the date of the last entry in the log file.

  7. Click a specific log file to view or save.

    Choose to open and view the log file in a specified program, or save it to disk.

    Note:

    Log files cannot be edited, renamed, or deleted from within the Platform Management Console.
