10.1 Overview
This chapter provides information on viewing and generating logs on your NWA1121-NI.
Logs are files that contain recorded network activity over a set period. They are used by
administrators to monitor the health of the system(s) they are managing. Logs enable
administrators to effectively monitor events, errors, progress, etc. so that when network problems
or system failures occur, the cause or origin can be traced. Logs are also essential for auditing and
keeping track of changes made by users.
Figure 56
Accessing Logs in the Network
The figure above illustrates three ways to access logs. The user (
U
) can access logs directly from
the NWA1121-NI (
A
) via the Web configurator. Logs can also be located in an external log server
(
B
). An email server (
C
) can also send harvested logs to the user’s email account.
10.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter

Log Settings
