About the log files
Symantec Network Security maintains multiple logging databases and tools to
view, compress, and archive them.
The Symantec Network Security software and the Symantec Network Security
7100 Series appliance employ a common core architecture that provides
detection, analysis, storage, and response functionality. Most procedures in this
section apply to both the 7100 Series appliance and the Symantec Network
Security 4.0 software. The 7100 Series appliance also provides additional
functionality that is unique to an appliance. Each section describes this
additional functionality in detail.

About the install log
Symantec Network Security creates an install log that records all of the
parameters entered during the installation procedure. The Network Security
console provides a view of the install log file of each node via Admin > Node >
Manage Logs, which displays the date and time of installation.
