Viewing User Logs
You can view user logs in the Reports > Logs: User Logs page. The user log filters messages from the system log to display messages that are of immediate use to the system administrator.
View user logs to monitor system activity and to troubleshoot problems: for example, you can monitor who logged in, who logged out, and who entered particular CLI commands or caused particular alarms. The most recent log events are listed first.
To view and customize user logs
1. Choose Reports > Logs: User Logs to display the User Logs page.
2. Customize the log as described in this table.

You can continuously display new lines as the log grows and appends new data.
To view a continuous log
1. Choose Reports > Logs: User Logs to display the User Logs page.
3. Click Launch Continuous Log in the upper-right corner of the page.
If the continuous log does not appear, a pair of Cores might be optimizing HTTP traffic between the user's web browser and the primary or auxiliary interface of the Core for which the user is viewing the log, and they are buffering the HTTP response.
To display the continuous log, you can switch to HTTPS, because the Cores do not optimize HTTPS traffic. Alternatively, you can configure the other Cores to pass through traffic on the primary or auxiliary interfaces for port 80.
