You can view local log files from the managing Central Management appliance or from individual sensors. The log files contain information about all system activity. IVX cluster-specific log messages are only a part of the log file. You can filter the log files for only these messages.
When you filter log files, the entries that match or do not match a specified regular expression are displayed. You can filter the output from the current log file, an archived log file, or all log files. You can also specify which new entries from a continuous log should be displayed. When you filter all log files, the output is presented in a single view.
The entries are displayed in forward chronological order, based on the last modification date.
Caution
When you filter all log files, the results are not displayed until all entries in all log files are processed. A progress bar indicates the status of the processing. Because the volume can be high with this option, be careful with your choice of regular expression.
For information about managing local logs, see the log management sections in the System Administration Guide for the appliance and the CLI Command Reference.
