Monitoring Logging
You can view real-time syslog messages that appear in the log buffer. When you open the Cisco ASDM

the bottom of a scrolling window.
You can use these messages to help troubleshoot errors or monitor system usage and performance. For
a description of the Logging feature, see Chapter 17, “Configuring Logging.”
