Viewing and Clearing the System Log
The View System Log command displays entries made in the system log. The
system log records various events including reboots, user sign-ons, alarms and
configuration saves.
Figure 50: Viewing the System Log
The system log will continue to accumulate information until becomes full. There
is enough room in the file to accumulate logs for months or years under normal
operation.
The Clear System Log command will clear the log. Clearing the log is
recommended after a firmware upgrade.
