Log Viewer

TIP: You can open Log Viewer from the SETTINGS > System > System Log page in Web Applications.

Use Log Viewer to view PME system events. System events are logged by the software and its components to record certain system activities. Examples of system events include a user logging on, a user logging off, time synchronization sent from the system to the devices, system warnings, and so on.

NOTE: The Log Viewer only shows system events, it does not show device based events or historical data. To view device event log data, use Alarm Views. To view device historical data, use Dashboards, Diagrams, or Reports.
