Viewing Policy Log
To view the policy log, you must have the View Policy Log permission.
The Policy Log contains information about the design/change-time policies that CentraSite has executed. By default, CentraSite only logs information about policies that fail. However, you can optionally configure CentraSite to log information about policies that resulted in success, informational, warning, and failure alerts.
*To view the policy log
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Logs > Policy Log.
2. To define the kind of log entry you want to view, specify an appropriate information for each of the displayed fields:
In this field...
Do the following...
Object Name
Optional. A pattern string that describes the names of the objects (of Object Type) whose log entries you want to view.
You can provide the exact name or use a pattern string consisting of a character sequence and the % wildcard character (which represents any string of characters). For example, if you specify the pattern string ‘A%’, CentraSite displays entities whose names start with ‘A’.
Leave Entity Name empty to view all names.
Policy Type
The type of policy whose log entries you want to view. To view the log entries for design/change-time policies, select Design/Change Time from the drop-down list (if it is not already selected).
Object Type
The object type whose log entries you want to view.
Event Type
The event type whose log entries you want to view.
Policy Status
