Log > View Overview
The Log > View page allows the administrator to view the SRA event log. The event log can
also be automatically sent to an email address for convenience and archiving.
Figure 55
The Log > View page displays log messages in a sortable, searchable table. The SRA
appliance can store 250 Kilobytes of log data or approximately 1,000 log messages. Each log
entry contains the date and time of the event and a brief message describing the event. Once
the log file reaches the log size limit, the log entry is cleared and optionally emailed to the SRA
administrator.
The log table size can be specified on the System > Administration page under Default Table
Size.
