Using Logs
A log file is a file that stores messages, which are sometimes called events or event log
entries, generated by an application, service, or operating system. These messages are used
to track the operations performed by the system. Log files are usually plain text (ASCII)
files and usually have .log extensions.
You can use the PowerVault NAS Manager to access these log files to monitor the operation
of your system.

logs that are provided by the system. The available logs are as follows:
