View Log Files

Caution

You can only do this if you’re a PerformanceGuard administrator.

If you’re a PerformanceGuard administrator, you can view log files: Select ADMINISTRATION > Status > System Status and then select the Log Files tab.

The tab lists the files in the log folders that PerformanceGuard monitors. By default, these are the log folders of the PerformanceGuard web interface, the backend server and the frontend server on the PerformanceGuard server. This means that you can view these log files:

• Backend server log files
• Frontend server log files (provided the frontend server runs on the same server as the PerformanceGuard web interface).
• PerformanceGuard web interface log files
• Access log files (that is logging of who has accessed the PerformanceGuard web interface), if access logging is enabled and the access logs are in a monitored folder.

Click the name of a file to open it.

Caution

Access logging is by default not enabled. You can, however, enable access logging through a configuration file parameter. Read more in Access Logging.

Tip

For each log file, the tab shows the size in kilobytes (Size (KB)) and how much the file has grown per hour (Growth Rate (KB/hour)). The growth rate cell turns yellow or red if a file grows faster than the thresholds that you set on the Common tab of ADMINISTRATION > Setup > Parameters. To change which folders are monitored, edit Monitor Log Folders on the Display tab. See System Status.

The View Database and Agent Error Log is available under ADMINISTRATION > Status > Errors.
