XpoLog Support Portal

The XpoLog support portal is accessible via the XpoLog > Settings > About menu item, by clicking the Open XpoLog Center Support Portal link. Only users associated with the Administrators group can open the portal. The portal enables system administrators to view systems logs, change logging level, review the general configuration that XpoLog uses, track real time activity, and manage all the data that XpoLog stores. This information may be viewed in several sections, by selecting from the drop down list the following options: Basic Information, Activity Information, Data Information, Actions, and Advanced Settings.

Use of this portal should be permitted only to trained system administrators.

In case XpoLog runs with several cluster nodes, it is possible to view/manage each node’s information separately by selecting the required node in the combo-box on top of the screen, or using the default option that includes all information from all nodes.
