CHAPTER 13: ADVANCED ADMINISTRATION 217
Viewing Log Files (Admin)
You can view one or more log files simultaneously via LogViewer, which allows browsing
through several files at once, to examine system activity.
To view log files:
1. Click Operation, Admin, then System Logfile Viewer.
2. The Logviewer screen is divided into 4 main areas (see screen below):
• List of Logfiles currently available on the system. If list is longer than the display
window, the list can be scrolled using the arrow keys.
• Logfile List sort criteria. Logfiles can be shown sort by their Full File Name, the most
recently changed logfile or by the largest logfile size.
• Viewer Display options (details below).
• Export / View selector.
3. Click with the mouse or use the arrow keys to navigate and press the SPACEBAR key to
select a log file, marking it with an X. You can view more than one log file at a time.
Figure 195 Selecting Log Files to View
The Logfile list is only updated when the associated list becomes active (e.g., user enters the
logfile list area) or when a new Sort by option is selected. File names are either preceded by a
timestamp indicating how recently the logfile has received new data or the file size of the logfile.
Timestamps are s Æ seconds, m Æ minutes, h Æ hours and d Æ days. File sizes are B Æ Bytes,
K Æ Kilo (1000) Bytes, M Æ Mega (1,000,000) Bytes and GÆ Gigabytes. When the Sort By
options is either Full Name or Recent Change, timestamps are used, and file sizes are used for
File Sizes.
