About Viewing Logs

The UCS-SCU Logs functionality allows you to take corrective action by examining your server logs. UCS-SCU provides the following types of logs:

  • System Logs

Viewing System Logs

By viewing system logs, you can determine if any error has occurred and take the required corrective action.

The system log file displays events that are logged by the operating system components. These events are often predetermined by the operating system itself. System log files display information about device changes, device drivers, system changes, events, operations, and more.

    Step 1   Click Logs on the left navigation pane.
    Step 2   Click System Logs.
    Step 3   Select a filter from the filter drop-down list.
    Step 4   Click Go.

    The system log is displayed.
