Managing Log Information

Viewing Log Contents

The logging feature allows you to view message detail to use for debugging problems. The amount of detail that is displayed depends on the log level you specify for the Cantara Access Server. See Configuring a Server for more details.

Large Files

If the log file is very large, you should use an alternative tool to review the content. Opening a large log file from the Cantara Administration Console may cause poor performance on the server.

To view the log

1. Select the Servers node in the navigation panel.
2. Select a server.
3. Click the Show Log button. A window will open to display the contents of the log file.
   

   

To view the log details

Refreshing the log

1. You can reload the log contents by pushing the Refresh Log button in the top right corner of the page
