Using Tailing Logs
To view arriving log entries, select Tailing Logs. The log entry list automatically jumps to
the bottom of the list, where new log entries appear when they are received by the
management system. As older log entries are moved up by arriving log entries, the view
remains fixed at the bottom of the list.
Tailing Logs also works with filters, predefined views, and custom views.
To see configuration log entries as they arrive from a specific device:
Select Predefined >7-Config view from the Log Viewer . This view uses a predefined
1.
filter to display log entries with the "configuration" category only.
Set a custom filter to set log entries from a specific device (for details, see "Filtering
2.
Log Entries by Event and Time" on page 758). The view changes to display configuration
log entries from that device.
Select Tailing Logs. The view jumps to the bottom of the log entry list, and remains
3.
there; as new configuration log entries for the device arrive, they appear at the bottom
of the list.

Using Flags

Use a flag to mark a specific event with a severity or workflow marker. Applying a flag to
a log entries helps the event stand out from other log entries. Table 104 on page 757 shows
the flag severity levels and corresponding filter types.
