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

2. Customize the log as described in To view and customize user logs.
3. Click Launch Continuous Log in the upper-right corner of the page.
If the continuous log doesn’t appear after clicking Launch Continuous Log, a pair of SteelHeads might be optimizing HTTP traffic between the user's web browser and the primary or auxiliary interface of the SteelHead for which the user is viewing the log, and they’re 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.
