Using Logs to Monitor Operations and Events
Apr 18, 20 15
Use audit and task logs to monitor the operations performed on the Management Service and on the NetScaler instances.
You can also use the events log to track all events for tasks performed on the Management Service and the XenServer.
All operations performed by using the Management Service are logged in the appliance database. Use audit logs to view the
operations that a Management Service user has performed, the date and time of each operation, and the success or failure
status of the operation. You can also sort the details by user, operation, audit time, status, and so on by clicking the
appropriate column heading.
Pagination is supported in the Audit Log pane. Select the number of records to display on a page. By default, 25 records are
displayed on a page.
To view audit logs
1. In the navigation pane, expand System, and then click Audit.
2. In the Audit Log pane, you can view the following details.
User Name
The Management Service user who has performed the operation.
IP Address
The IP address of the system on which the operation was performed.
Port
The port at which the system was running when the operation was performed.
Resource Type
The type of resource used to perform the operation, such as xen_vpx_image and login.

Status
The status of the audit, such as Success or Failed.

A message describing the cause of failure if the operation has failed and status of the task, such as Done, if the
operation was successful.
3. To sort the logs by a particular field, click the heading of the column.
Viewing Task Logs
Use task logs to view and track tasks, such as upgrading instances and installing SSL certificates, that are executed by the
Management Service on the NetScaler instances. The task log lets you view whether a task is in progress or has failed or
has succeeded.
Pagination is supported in the Task Log pane. Select the number of records to display on a page. By default, 25 records are
displayed on a page.
