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.

The SRA appliance can store 250 Kilobytes of log data or approximately 1,000 log messages. 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, either to an email address or to an email pager. 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.

Each log entry displays the following information:

Table 41. Log View Columns

Time	Displays the date and time of log events in the format YY/MM/DD/HH/MM/SS (Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute/Second). Hours are displayed in 24-hour clock format. The date and time are based on the local time of the SRA gateway which is configured in the System > Time page.
