Get Log Entries

Log entries can be returned from the specified appliance log. Each log entry returns the date/time of the entry along with log specific content properties. Note: Depending on the number of logs, older log entries might now be available due to memory constraints. This same limit occurs in the BUI and CLI. To obtain all system logs, they should be downloaded using the collect function described below.

The start index defaults to the value of "0" which returns the first log that was generated. Negative values and values greater than or equal to the log size are not allowed. The start index can also be a time string, for example 20130724T03:21:55.

Note: Time values that are older than one month from the current time are not accepted. Retrieval of older logs must use an index number for the start value. The limit value limits the number of logs returned for a given request. No more than the given limit value is returned.
