About log files

Symantec Critical System Protection uses log files to record events and
messages related to agent and management server activity.

Multiple versions of a log file may exist, as old versions are closed and new
versions are opened. The versions are denoted by a number (for example,
SISIDSEvents23.csv, sis-console.3.log).

See the Symantec Critical System Protection Administration Guide for more
information on log files.
