10.1 Overview
This chapter provides information on viewing and generating logs on your NWA1121-NI.
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.
