View Log Files in Diagnostic Console
You can view one or more log files simultaneously via LogViewer, which
allows browsing through several files at once to examine system activity.
The Logfile list is updated only when the associated list becomes active,
as when a user enters the logfile list area, or when a new sorting option
is selected. File names are preceded by a timestamp indicating either
how recently the logfile has received new data or the file size of the
logfile.
Timestamp and file size abbreviations:
Timestamps:
s = seconds
m = minutes
h = hours
d = days
File sizes:
B = Bytes
K = Kilobytes (1,000 bytes)
M = Megabytes (1,000,000 bytes)
G = Gigabytes (1,000,000,000 bytes)
