System Logging and Monitoring

The SMA appliance logs a variety of useful information, including user access, system events, and changes in AMC. This section explains how to configure and view logs in AMC, and how to send messages to an external syslog server. It also describes the system status information displayed by AMC.

If a central syslog server is not available, you can review log files from the command-line interface on the appliance itself using standard UNIX commands. For information on how to manually view and interpret raw log data, see Log File Output Formats.
