Viewing Logs

The Log > View page allows the administrator to view the SRA event log. The 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.
Description
The Destination IP address shows the name or IP address of the server
or service associated with the event. For example, if a user accessed
an intranet Web site through the SRA portal, the corresponding log
entry would display the IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) of the Web site accessed.
The name of the user who was logged into the appliance when the
message was generated.
The text of the log message.
