TIP: The same entries will go into both logs until the non-wrap log gets full. Once the
non-wrap log gets full, the entries go into the wrap log. Once the wrap log is full, it will
start to overwrite entries. If you need to look at a history of log entries, you should
review both logs.
The Fabric Log provides:
• Count: A cumulative count of entries within a known period.
• Date/Time: The date and time of the log entry.
• Description: A description of the log entry.
• Data: Extended data that is associated with the log entry.
