Essbase maintains two types of logs that record Essbase activity, one for Essbase Server and one for each application. You can open server and application logs in Log Viewer. For more information, see About Log Viewer.
Log Viewer presents a read-only snapshot of the log at the time of your request. To view an updated snapshot of the log, click Refresh.
You need Administrator permissions to open Essbase Server logs and Application Manager permissions to open application logs.
To filter logs and view graphical charts based on your filters, use Log Analyzer.
To view a log:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an Essbase Server or an application.
Right-click and select View, then Log.
In the Log Viewer Options dialog box, specify whether to view recent log entries or to view log entries starting on a specific date.
Click OK.
Log Viewer displays up to 5 megabytes (5MB) of the log. There may be a delay as the log is loaded.
By default, the oldest message is displayed first in the Log Viewer window.
