Viewing device logs
↩ Devices
Every device has a Logs tab recording events collected from the device — link changes, warnings, and errors. This is the place to look when investigating a problem.
The Logs tab
Open a device and select the Logs tab. Each entry shows:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Timestamp | When the event occurred. |
| Severity | An INFO, WARN, or ERROR badge. |
| Source | The interface or subsystem that raised it. |
| Message | The event text. |
Entries are listed newest first, and you can filter by severity and date range to narrow things down.
How logs are collected
- Logs come in on the device's regular poll cycle (when logging is enabled on its scanning profile).
- A full rescan also refreshes them.
- Identical events occurring close together are de-duplicated so a repeating condition doesn't flood the list.
Notes & tips
- The Logs tab is available on every device type.
- Use the severity filter to jump straight to ERROR entries when triaging an incident.
- For up/down history and outages rather than device-reported events, see Status & Availability.
