About the operational log
The operational log records events that Symantec Network Security is
processing, such as startup and shutdown of the Network Security
software or
appliance node, or errors experienced within the node. The Network Security
console provides a view of the operational log file of each node via Admin > Node
> Manage Logs.
All actions or modifications made in the Network Security console to a software
or appliance node are logged to the operational log file, which includes
information such as the date and time, name, type of modification, and other
data specific to the modification.
