Viewing Old Event Logs
Dashboard can maintain event logs for up three months, which can be viewed for historical purposes unless Network-Wide > Configure > General > Client privacy has been configured for a shorter timeframe.
To view logs older than 30 days:
- Navigate to Network-wide > Monitor > Event log.
- Click in the Before fields and specify a date and time.
- Once the date and time have been selected, click the Search button to begin the search.
Note: You cannot download more than 1000 events at a time (when using the export function).
Note: Event logs are tied to the Dashboard network, not stored locally on the device. As such, swapping devices will not affect the event log, but moving devices to a new network will cause their device logs to be cleared.
if a complete historical log is necessary, implementing a syslog server is recommended to maintain logs as long as needed.
