Viewing the Alert Log
The alert log resides on the server, and records information such as alerts raised, about the
server. You can display a snapshot of the log information on the client.
After connecting to the host (server), you display the alert log of the server by clicking on
Logs then the Alert Log tab. Information is displayed in the context of the object being
browsed. The server can have single or multiple alert log files, depending upon the policy.
If the server has more than one alert log file, then a drop down box is displayed from
which you select the required log file.
The client gets the latest set of alerts from the log file of the server and displays the alert
information in the Details View. Up to 25 alerts can be displayed in a set.
