Element Manager application logging
This section describes the logging performed by Element Manager to generate a record of its tasks.
There is usually no need to monitor Element Manager log activities. However, the log files are
available for troubleshooting should issues arise within the Element Manager operations.
When you select Application Log from the menu bar Help command, the Element Manager Log
Browser opens. You can use the Log Browser to sort the events in the Application Log.
The BCM50 Element Manager Logs panel has three parts:
• Retrieval Criteria - This panel allows you to specify logging criteria, to clear the defined
parameters of a selected criteria, clear all retrieval criteria, retrieve logs based on the specified
criteria, or stop logging.
• Retrieval Results - This panel allows you to filter the results shown by retrieving logs based on
selected severity level check boxes.
• Log Details - shows the details of the logged message.
You can show or hide the retrieval criteria and log detail panels by clicking on the expansion arrow
beside the panel heading.
See Figure 13 on page 63 for the Application log panel.
