Viewing a snippet of or export a log file

Edit online

To view a snippet of a log file or export a log file with the local management interface, use the Reverse Proxy management page.

Procedure

  1. From the top menu, select Web > Manage > Reverse Proxy.
  2. Optional: If instance-specific log files are of interest, select the instance.
  3. Select Troubleshooting > Logging.
  4. Select the log file that you want to view.
  5. Click View.
    The content of the log file is displayed. By default, the last 100 lines of a log file is displayed if the file is longer than 100 lines. You can define the number of lines to display by entering the number in the Number of lines to view field and then click Reload. Optionally, you can provide a value in the Starting from line field to define the start of the lines. If the Starting from line field is set, then the Number of lines to view field determines how many lines to view forward from the starting line. If the Starting from line field is not set, then the Number of lines to view field determines how many lines to view from the end of the log file.
    Note: The maximum size that can be returned is 214800000 lines. If a size greater than that is specified, then the maximum (214800000 lines) is returned.
  6. Click Export to download the log file.
    Note: You must configure the software that blocks pop-up windows in your browser to allow pop-up windows for the appliance before files can be exported.

    You can also export a file by selecting it and then clicking Manage > Export.
