2. In the top navigation bar, click O&M Tools to go to the management page of O&M tools.

3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Logs.

4. On the System Logs tab, view system logs.

   You can view all system logs in the system. The following table describes the parameters.

   Component	The name of the component in KSV. This includes the project components in the KSV web console and back-end system components.
   Time	The time when the log entry was generated.
   Message	The log message returned by each component.

5. (Optional) Click the search box above the system log list and specify a condition to search for system logs by keyword, component, or time range. For example, use Keyword:error to search for log entries that contain the string error.
