Viewing Logs

The Log > View page allows the administrator to view the SMA event log. The SMA/SRA appliance maintains an
event log for tracking system events, for example, unsuccessful login attempts, NetExtender sessions, and
logout events. This log can be viewed in the Log > View page, or it can be automatically sent to an email
address for convenience and archiving.
The SMA/SRA appliance can store up to 1GB of log data in the log file system. Logs are displayed in a sortable,
searchable table. The appliance can alert you of events, such as a successful login or an exported configuration.
Alerts can be immediately emailed upon generation or the admin can choose the format of the logs included in
the email- in-line text appearing within the email body or as a zipped attachment (default). Each log entry
contains the date and time of the event and a brief message describing the event. After the log file reaches the
50 MB log size limit, the log entry is cleared and optionally emailed to the Secure Mobile Access administrator.
