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 197 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.

The “Sort Logfile list by:” window is a set of radio-button (e.g., mutually exclusive) and controls
the order of how logfiles are displayed in the “Logfile to View” window.

OPTION

DESCRIPTION

Individual Windows

Display the selected logs in separate sub-windows.

Merged Windows

Merge the selected logs into one display window.

Initial Buffer

Sets initial buffer or history size. 5000 is default. This
system is configured to buffer all the new information that
comes along.

Remember Selected Items

If this box is checked, the current logfile selections (if
any) will be remembered. Otherwise, selection is reset
each time a new Logfile list is generated. This is useful if
you want to step thorough files.
