engineers may request these logs for help in troubleshooting problems and will provide detailed instructions
on how to retrieve them. Table 104 describes some of the most important logs:
Viewing Device Events in System > Syslog & Traps
Admins can use the System > Syslog & Traps page to review all syslog messages and SNMP traps that AMP
receives from the trigger type Device Event. These device events are listed by time, type, source device, AP,
severity, facility, category, and message. Most columns can be filtered using the funnel icon ( ), and messages
can be filtered by substring using the Search field, as seen in Figure 129.
You can change the historical data retention from the Device Events (Syslog, Traps) field in AMP Setup >
General.
