Managing Logs and Events
========================

The Policy Server provides a centralized Log View. Information collected from
endpoint devices, network devices, and other third-party devices are used to
generate logs for security and management purposes. From here, Logs can then be
sent outwards to another storage location, such as a SIEM solution.

Log view consists of four main sections.

- Panel A: Status and Filter.
- Window B: Time Graph and Chart.
- Panel C: Predefined Logs that are grouped by severity, or popular use cases.
- Window D: Result window of your searching and filtering.

Log display and generation options may be configured under **General > Log** in
the **Preferences** section.
