Viewing the local log data

You can use the reporting feature to view the log data from the local logs. The local log files cannot be read directly. The reporting feature formats the local logs in an HTML table that displays in the browser window. You can choose a date range and time range for which you want to view log data. You can also select one or more types of log entries that you want to view.
Local logging is the default logging destination. Local logging is activated by default at the Warning level. The log data that is stored in the log files depends on the logging level that you select for local logging. If you select a type of log entry for a report that is not logged at the configured logging level, no data is available.
To view the HTML report, you must disable any pop-up blockers that are running on your computer.
