Log browser fundamentals
The system uses logs to record information related to an event so that the
information can be analyzed at a later time. Every log event is captured and
archived to disk by the Fault-Performance Manager that is assigned to the network
element or server. At the same time, the log stream is available to the System
Manager for display at the System Management Console.
The log browser has the following limitations:
Only current log reports are available for viewing at the System Management
Console.
The log browser displays 10 000 characters of data, approximately 50 log
reports. Old logs are removed as new logs are added.
Logs for servers are not available for display.
You cannot use the log browser to view current logs for servers, to view archived
logs, to configure an FTP Push profile and associate it with the FTP Push Log
Stream for the System Manager or Fault-Performance Manager, or to view the
archived logs from an OSS.
