Open Log File Window

This window lets you select a log file from either the client or server for viewing in the Event Log Viewer window. It also lets you select the format used to parse the information presented in the Event Log Viewer. You can access this window from the Open Event Log button Open Log  in the lower-right corner of the Event View.

You can open an event log from the local Extreme Management Center client or from the Management Center Server. Both browsers offer several parsers to interpret the log information.
