Browse Syslog
The system displays the received syslog information in a chart. With this function, you can view all the logs in the system. The level, syslog source, description, digest, number of repetitions and receive time of each log are displayed in the chart. To facilitate locating and saving logs, the system also provides you with the syslog query and export functions.
Operation Procedure
- Click the Alarm tab, and then select Syslog Management > Browse Syslog in the navigation tree to enter the Syslog List page.
- You can perform the following operations on the syslog list:
- Click the title of a column to sort the log information. For example, if you click the title of the Level column, the log information is displayed according to the level.
- Click Export as Excel to export log data into a compressed package of .csv files. Each .csv file can contain up to 5000 syslogs. Log data remains in the system after the export.

Functions
Parameters
- Level: includes emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notification, informational and debugging.
- Syslog Source: The log source is display as the device label. If a device does not have a label, the device IP is displayed.
- Repeat Times: Times of receiving the same Syslog message within 2 seconds.
Precautions
- When you use the advanced query function to query syslogs by description, refer to "How does the query function of the platform match strings?" in FAQ for the platform.
- When you use an asterisk (*) to perform a regular expression query, exact match is not supported. For example, =* does not match data that contains =*. Instead, =* indicates = plus several (0 or more) characters, and *= indicates several (0 or more) characters plus =.
- When you use a string containing spaces, for example, g 9, to perform a query, the browser considers the continuous spaces in the string as one space. To resolve this problem, you can use g *9 to perform a query, where * can indicate multiple continuous spaces.
