To view logs using the Support > Logs > Browse command:

1. Enter browse mode using the Main_Menu > Support > Logs followed by the Browse command in the shell menu. The LOGROOT/> prompt appears.
2. To display the available log directories on your appliance, type ls at the LOGROOT/> prompt.
3. To see the available log files in any of the log directories, use the cd command to change directories to the log directory of your choice. The prompt changes to show the directory that you are in. For example, if you changed directories to the OS directory, the prompt appears as LOGROOT/OS/>. From that prompt you can use the ls command to display the available log files in the OS log directory.
