NWA1100-N User’s Guide

This chapter provides information on viewing and generating logs on your NWA.

Logs are files that contain recorded network activity over a set period. They are used by 
administrators to monitor the health of the system(s) they are managing. Logs enable 
administrators to effectively monitor events, errors, progress, etc. so that when network problems 
or system failures occur, the cause or origin can be traced. Logs are also essential for auditing and 
keeping track of changes made by users. 

 Accessing Logs in the Network

The figure above illustrates three ways to access logs. The user (U) can access logs directly from 
the NWA (A) via the Web configurator. Logs can also be located in an external log server (B). An 
email server (C) can also send harvested logs to the user’s email account. 

• Use  the  View Log screen to display all logs or logs for a certain category. You can view logs and 

alert messages in this page. Once the log entries are all used, the log will wrap around and the 
old logs will be deleted (

• Use  the  Log Settings screen to configure where and when the NWA will send the logs, and which 

logs and/or immediate alerts it will send (
