Search logs
Click the search box to scan through the log archive that is collectively maintained across all the DSG nodes within the cluster. The search for logs is not limited to the records that appear on the screen. When a user clicks search, all the log records that are present on the screen as well as on the server are retrieved.
Clear records
You can use the clear functionality to clean up the logs and view the newly generated logs on the Log Viewer screen. Clearing the Log Viewer screen removes the entries that are currently displayed. You can view all the archived logs even after the records are cleared.
The logs are cleared only from the Log Viewer screen. The logs are not cleared or deleted from the appliance and are available for future reference. To access these logs, on the DSG node, click Logs > Appliance. Under Cloud Gateway - Event Logs, select gateway.
Retrieve archived logs
When the logs are cleared from the screen, the records are archived and can be viewed later. After clearing the records, click the Refresh icon. A link displaying the timestamp of the last updated record appears. Click Showing logs after
Fetching records
