At a minimum, the Logs page provides the following log categories:

  • System Management Homepage Log

  • Httpd Error Log (Windows and Linux)

Logs contained in the installed HP Web-enabled System Management Software appear on this page. For example, if the HP Version Control Agent is installed, a link to the Version Control Agent log appears on the Logs page. As another example, if the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities (DSAU) is installed, a link to the System Log Viewer appears on the Logs page. Each log file is divided into pages that display a total of 40 log entries to a page.

With this installation, in the case of Windows and Linux, the old smh.log file is held in reserve as a human-readable, English-only log. It is not available through the user interface. Access the file directly to read the old log. New log messages are not written to this file.

The smh_enc.log (Windows and Linux) and smh.log (HP-UX) contains encoded entries in the following format:
