Log Files
When an error of "See log file details." is received, these are the log files to review. FMOS provides a command for quickly viewing the most commonly-used log files: fmos logview. This command allows users with the FireMon Administrator (privileged user) assigned to view the contents of the system log (i.e. /var/log/messages), as well as any log file generated by FireMon software, without explicitly requesting elevated privileges.
Log files can contain sensitive information, and are not accessible by unprivileged users.
To view a log file using fmos logview, simply invoke the command, passing the path to the log file as a command-line argument. For example, the following command would display the contents of the current SecMgr log file:
fmos logview /var/log/firemon/sm/secmgr.log
If no file name is given, /var/log/messages will be displayed. Only log files inside /var/log/firemon, /var/log/fmos, and /var/log/messages can be viewed using the fmos logview command.
