System Logs

The System Logs tab displays the files containing system log events, allowing to export them in CSV format or download as an SQLite database file. To manage storage capacity, older files are rotated out when the disk is nearing full, ensuring space for new log entries. You can review system log events on the Monitor > Logs > System Logs page.

To know more on the monitor logs refer to SonicOS 7 Monitor Guide.
