History  

The History feature allows you to view the recent history of console sessions by displaying the console 
messages to and from the target device. This function displays up to 64 kilobytes of recent console message 
history, allowing a user to see target device events over time. When the size limit is reached, the text will 
wrap, overwriting the oldest data with the newest. History information can be useful when debugging, 
troubleshooting, or administering a target device.  

Note: History data is displayed only to the user who requested the history. 

To View Session History:
