Viewing Logs
SteelHead Interceptor log reports provide a high-level view of network activity. You can view both user and system logs.
Viewing User Logs
You can view user logs in the Reports > Diagnostics: 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, alarms and errors. The most recent log events are listed first.

To view a continuous log
1. Choose Reports > Diagnostics: User Logs to display the User Logs page.
3. Click Launch continuous log in the upper-right corner of the page.
Note: If the continuous log does not appear after clicking the icon, a pair of SteelHeads might be optimizing HTTP traffic between your web browser and the primary or auxiliary interface of the SteelHead on which you are viewing the log, and the pair of SteelHeads are buffering the HTTP response. To display the continuous log, you can switch to HTTPS, because the SteelHeads will not optimize HTTPS traffic. Alternatively, you can configure the other SteelHeads to pass through traffic on the primary or auxiliary interfaces for port 80.
