8.1 Overview of Log Viewer
The Log Viewer application lets you directly view the historical data of all
management system activities and events without having to create and configure a
report from the Reports application.
Log Viewer displays this historical data as a multi-column table that contains two
types of records:
 Activity records concern actions done by users or by the system itself.
 Event records concern the alarms and events that appear in Event List.
Each record occupies a separate row in the table. You can extract a subset of this
information by applying filters, selecting what columns to display, specifying the
number of records to display, and so on. You can also apply other settings such as
resizing the column widths, re-ordering the columns, and so on.
Once you configure all these preferences, you can save them as a log view
definition for later use. When you access the log view definition the next time, you
will see the latest data, presented and filtered according to all the settings you
specified in the definition.
Log Viewer is covered by a license. To be able to access the Log Viewer
application, you must have a valid Log Viewer license available in the
management system.
