The Logs page

At a minimum, the Logs page provides the System Management Homepage Log. Httpd Error Log (Windows and Linux) is available after it is enabled from the command line.

Logs contained in the installed HPE Web-enabled System Management Software appear on this page. For example, if the HP VCA 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.
