CHAPTER 19 Log Screens 19.1 Overview This chapter provides information on viewing and generating logs on your NWA. Logs are files that contain recorded network activity over a set period. They are used by administrators to monitor the health of the computer system(s) they are managing. Logs enable administrators to effectively monitor events, errors, progress, and so on. When network problems or system failures occur, the cause or origin can be traced. Logs are also essential for auditing and keeping track of changes made by users. Figure 135 Accessing Logs in the Network The figure above illustrates three ways to access logs. The user (U) can access logs directly from the NWA (A) via the Web configurator. Logs can also be located in an external log server (B). An email server (C) can also send harvested logs to the user's email account. 19.1.1 What You Can Do in the Log Screens • Use the View Log screen (Section 19.2 on page 240) to display all logs or logs for a certain category. You can view logs and alert messages in this page. Once the log entries are all used, old logs will be deleted. NWA-3160 Series User's Guide 239
