Chapter 1 Monitoring and Troubleshooting Your WAAS Network
Troubleshooting Tools
To view events that have occurred on your entire WAAS network, see the “Viewing the System Message
Log” section on page 1-56.
To view the logged information for a WAAS device, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name.
Step 2 Choose Admin > History > Logs. The System Message Log for Device window appears.
Step 3 Choose the type of messages to be displayed from the System Message Log drop-down list.
Choose one of the following types of messages in the system log:
• All (default)
• CLI
• Critical
• Database
Step 4 Click a column heading to arrange the messages chronologically by node type, node name, or module.
By default, messages are displayed chronologically.
If no name is available for a node because the node has been deleted or reregistered with the WAAS
software, the message displayed is “Unavailable.”
Step 5 If you have many event messages, you may need to use the forward (>>) and back (<<) buttons to move
between pages. Alternatively, click the link for a specific page number to move to that particular page.

To enable the kernel debugger, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name (or Device Groups >
device-group-name).
Step 2 Choose Monitor > Tools > Kernel Debugger. The Kernel Debugger window appears.
