System Logs

The "System Logs" page displays information regarding the log files of the current product. Further, it has the feature to download and view the log files according to the user preference. The log files can be retrieved in two ways:

  • If syslog-ng is configured log files are taken from the remote location where the log files are hosted using syslog-ng server. 
  • If syslog-ng is not configured log files are taken from the local file system (super-tenant or Stand alone apps).
