Syslog

The Syslog screen allows users to search through aggregated log files of all devices in the network. Only the log messages of devices that have been configured to send logs to the syslog-server can be analyzed through this feature. The logs can be searched using words, logical operators, and timeframes, allowing users to construct complex queries to narrow down potentially relevant log messages.

If the screen is not available, it is either not configured or the user does not have the appropriate permissions.

  • <= Lesser than or equals
  • > Greater than
  • < Lesser than

This can also be used in conjunction with available variables:

  • Timestamp > 01/01/2022 yields results with a timestamp greater than the first of January 2022.
