Point your browser at the Fabric Manager Web Server. See the
Step 1
section on page

Step 2
table are sortable. In addition, you can use the Filter button to limit the scope of messages within the
table.
Viewing Logs from Device Manager
You can view system messages from Device Manager if Device Manager is running from the same
workstation as the Fabric Manager Server. Choose Logs > Events > current to view the system
messages on Device Manager. The columns in the events table are sortable. In addition, you can use the
Find button to locate text within the table.
You can view switch-resident logs even if you have not set up your local syslog server or your local PC
is not in the switch's syslog server list. Due to memory constraints, these logs will wrap when they reach
a certain size. The switch syslog has two logs: an NVRAM log that holds a limited number of critical
and greater messages and a nonpersistent log that contains notice or greater severity messages. Hardware
messages are part of these logs.
When using the show logging command, output is displayed only when the configured logging levels
Note
for the switch are different from the default levels.
