Logging in the IGEL UMS Web App

In the Logging area of the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App, you can activate logging and search for log messages according to the configured search parameters.

Not all actions performed in the UMS Console are displayed in the UMS Web App. Logs of the UMS Web App are not displayed in the UMS Console; for where to find them, see Logging.

It is recommended to delete unnecessary logs regularly to avoid problems with insufficient disk space.

Menu path: UMS Web App > Logging

Log messages are available if:

• Logging is enabled either

  • under UMS Web App > Logging > Settings (see below)
    or

  • under UMS Console > UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Logging (see Logging)

• A user has sufficient rights. For details on where you can define permissions, see General Administrator Rights and Access Rights in the Administration Area.

The last search configuration is automatically saved and restored on the next visit of the Logging area.

When no values are specified in the search mask, all available log messages are shown.

1	Search mask	Search criteria for the logs (linked with logical AND) To remove a value, click  and than Search. This updates the search results.
2	Log list	Shows all logs that match the search criteria. Paging for the navigation in the log list Defining the number of log messages to be displayed on one page Sorting within any selected column Tooltips, useful in case of truncations
3	Delete data	Deletes the logs that are older than the number of days set.  To delete the logs, a user must have the right "Delete Log Messages", see General Administrator Rights. Directly after the deletion of logs, a message "No matching logs found" appears. Wait for the next reindexing to view the updated list of the log messages. However, you can immediately view and search for new logs, i.e. logs for actions performed after the deletion procedure.
4	Settings	Allows you to configure logging settings, see below.
