Standard
A live stream of logs (including alarm logs) is reported to the configured Fault-
Performance Manager (which can be the System Manager) from the generating
network element. As the server receives the logs, they are saved to the current
(.active) log file on the Fault-Performance Manager server. After a configured
period of time, or after the file reaches a configured size in kilobytes, the log file is
closed and renamed (rotated) to an archived log file and a new active log file is
opened.
The log browser displays information for a single network element instance,
similar to the way that the alarm browser displays alarms for the selected network
element.
Log browser operations
You can start a log browser only after you select a network element from the
configuration view pane, the physical view window, or the logical view window.
You can have multiple log browsers open at the same time to monitor multiple
components concurrently.
The following functions are available in the log browser:
The log browser displays all the logs originating from the selected network
element. Administrators can start more than one log browser, allowing them to
view logs for different components concurrently.
See the following procedures for information about working with logs in the log
browsers:
• “Starting the log browser from the configuration view” on page 89
• “Starting the log browser from the logical or physical view” on page 89
