Utility Tool Activity Log: Log of most recent run of utility
Utility Tool Failure Log: Error log for most recent run of utility
Syslog: Log of system daemon info
For more information on a particular type of log (e.g., the UI Activity Log), select its hyperlink (e.g., UI
Activity Log).
Log contents are unique, but all of the logs displayable under mstm employ a similar log viewing dialog.
Using this dialog, you may:
View a log
Save a log to a file
Print a log
Clear a log (UI Activity and System Activity Logs only)
The title of the log viewing dialog will specify the log type, as well as the tool or utility (and device, if
necessary) whose log you have selected.
Note that multiple logs can be viewed at once; "Prev" and "Next" keys are provided to simplify navigation
through these logs when viewing them.

UI Activity Log
The UI Activity Log contains a record of the errors encountered by the mstm user interface. The log dialog
allows you to view, save, print, and clear the contents of the log, as desired.
There is only one copy of the log per machine, although multiple instances of the User Interface (UI) may
be executed. Each log entry contains a label with a timestamp, user name, and the UI process id, in order
to allow you to distinguish between these separate invocations of the UI. Here is an example of such a
label:
Wed Dec 7 15:18:49 1994: User Name: joeuser, UI Process ID: 27697
To view the UI Activity Log, do the following:
1. Select the "file" pulldown menu on the first level screen.
2. Select UI Act Log.
The "UI Activity Log" screen is displayed.

Map Log
The Map Log contains a record of what transpired while the system map was being built. The log dialog
allows you to view, save, and print the contents of the log, as desired.
The log is created at boot time, and whenever the Remap System command is executed.
To view the Map Log, do the following:
