Select Log Types (multiple log output will be merged)
Logmanager debug trace	Provides information about Messaging and High Availability Platform software, such as restarts, initializations, and shutdowns, process errors, system alarms, and communication with external gateways and port networks. The log rolls over when the log reaches its size limit.
Linux syslog	This log is used by Linux and platform software. The log includes Messaging boot information, kernel messages, platform alarms, Messaging alarms, Messaging IP events (if enabled), cron jobs, and general Linux information messages.
Linux access security log	This log contains information pertaining to log-on connections to the Linux system. Actions logged in this file include opening or closing an SSH session and modem messages.
Linux login/logout/reboot log	This log contains information about Linux log-on and log-out procedures, as well as system reboots.
Linux file transfer log	This log contains information about files copied to or retrieved from the system. The log indicates the time, user, and files that were copied to or retrieved from the system.
Watchdog logs	Only the watchdog process writes to this log. The log contains information about application starts, restarts, failures, shutdowns, heartbeating, and Linux reboots. The log also contains information about processes that use excessive CPU cycles. The watchdog logs do not contain specific information about Messaging. If you need information about processes relating to call processing, see the logmanager debug trace log.
Platform command history log	This log contains information about Web page access, Web page activity, and bash commands. Use the bashhis view to display just the bash commands.
HTTP/web server error log	These are errors and events generated by the platform Web server and include items like Web server restart, abnormal CGI script file terminations, and certificate mismatches.
HTTP/web SSL request log	These are the requests made to the Web servers SSL module. Indicates the pages requested or placed in the secure mode.

IP events (interfaces up/down; telephone/endpoint registration/unregistration)	These are events that the server posts through Messaging. For IF_UP/IF_DOWN the system displays the following fields: board: The board that is in-service or out-of-service, such as the port network, carrier, and slot or PROCR for the control processor IP interface. IP: The IP address of the interface. net:_reg: The network region in which the interface resides. type: The types of interface: PROCR: Control Processor IP Interface. C-LAN: Control Lan circuit pack. MEDPRO: Media Processor circuit pack. VAL: Voice Announcement over the LAN circuit pack.
Platform bash command history log	This log lists the commands run by interactive bash cells. These commands include: PPID: The process ID of the parent shell. PID: The process ID of the shell. UID: The user ID under which the shell is executing. Zero (0) means root or super user.
Linux kernel debug messages	These messages contain debug information about the driver, disk, hardware, and memory.
Linux scheduled task log (CRON)	This log shows information from the Linux scheduling daemon.
Communication Manager's hardware error and alarm events	These events go into the Messaging hardware error and alarm logs.
Communication Manager's software events	The events that go into the Messaging software error log. This needs special deciphering by an external tool.
System update/patch event	The update tool events include the following information: Type of the update tool script used for a particular update file. Additional information about certain update tool scripts (activate/deactivate) indicating if a process stopped and restarted. Status of the update tool indicating if the update tool ran successfully.
Communication Manager's denial events	Shows the denial events on the system. These events are not software errors, but unexpected events caused by mismatched translation, mismatched provisioning, network problems, invalid operation, and resource exhaustion.
Select Event Range	Options are: Today Yesterday View entries for this date and time: Enter date in the MM-DD-YYYY format. Enter time in the HH:MM format.
Match Pattern	To further limit your search, enter a keyword, for example, a name or message type.
Display Format	Select display options: Enter the Number of Lines you want to view at one time. To view the most recent text line, select Newest First. To view the text without header, select Remove Header.
