Chapter 1 Using the WAE Device Manager GUI
Viewing WAE Logs
• Manager log—Displays events related to the WAE Device Manager and WAAS Central Manager
GUI components, such as configuration changes and WAE registrations and notifications that other
WAE components were started or stopped.
• WAFS Watchdog log—Displays events related to the watchdog utility, which monitors the other
application files inside the WAE and restarts them, if necessary.
The CIFS accelerator generates one log that displays all events related to CIFS accelerator operation.
To view Cisco WAE and CIFS accelerator logs, follow these steps:
Step 1 In the navigation area, click the Logs option under the Cisco WAE or CifsAO component.
Figure 1-19 shows the Logs window for the Cisco WAE component.

Step 2
If you selected the Cisco WAE, click the Manager or WAFS Watchdog tab to choose the log that you
want to view.
Step 3 Set up your display criteria using the From, To, Level, and Lines drop-down lists. (See the “Setting
Display Criteria” section on page 1-27.)
Step 4 (Optional) Set a filter on the log so that only events containing specific words or phrases are displayed
by entering the relevant free text in the Filter text box.
Step 5 Click Update. The Logs window is refreshed according to your selected criteria.
Note Navigation arrows ( ) appear at the bottom of each log window when the
number of events is greater than the number of lines selected per window.
