View Logs

The Log page brings together events recorded by PVM and its connected products. Use it to investigate activity, identify errors, and trace an event, process, or user that generated it.

To open the page, select Log from the sidebar.

The newest entries appear first. The page refreshes automatically, so the number of available items can change while you are reviewing the list.

Filter the Log List

The filter panel appears above the table. The simple view contains the filters used most often.

• Date/time: Limits results to All Time, Today, Yesterday, Last Week, or Last 2 Weeks. Select Custom to display From and To fields, then choose the start and end date and time.

• Level: Filters entries by severity. Available levels are Fatal, Alert, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, Debug, Verbose, and Trace. Select All to include every level.

• Host: Shows entries from a particular host. Select All to include every host.

• User: Shows entries associated with the entered username. The list updates shortly after you stop typing.

Info

When using a custom range, the To value cannot be earlier than the From value.

Advanced Filters

Select the down arrow at the right side of the filter panel to display the advanced filters.

The advanced view adds these fields:

• Module: Limits results to a PVM subsystem or service module.

• Process: Filters by the name of the process that recorded the entry.

• Product: Filters by the product associated with the entry.

• User IP: Filters by the user's IPv4 address.

Select the up arrow to return to the simple filter view. Closing the advanced view clears Host, User, Module, Process, Product, and User IP, then reloads the list. The selected date/time range and level remain active.

Search Logs

Enter text in the Search field to narrow the current result set. Search works together with the filters, so you can first limit the time range, severity, or host and then search within those results.

To clear the search, remove the text from the field.
