Log management

N-able N-central keeps log files that record the activities of the various system processes. You can download these log files to help you troubleshoot issues. Your administrator can also set and propagate the level of detail for some of the log files.

Log management is only available at the system or product administrator level.

The availability and content of log files is dependent on the configuration of your network.
