To view a log in the web User Interface, select the "Log" item in the "Status" menu. Then select which log target to view by clicking the appropriate link. You can also view a 'pseudo' log target "All" which shows log event messages sent to any log target.
The web page then continues showing log events on the web page in real time i.e. as they happen.
This is an "open ended" web page which has been known to upset some browsers, but this is rare. However it does not usually work with any sort of web proxy which expects the page to actually finish.
All log targets can be viewed via the web User Interface, regardless of whether they specify any external logging (or logging to Flash memory).
The command line allows logs to be viewed, and you can select which log target, or all targets. The logging continues on screen until you press a key such as RETURN.
In addition, anything set to log to console shows anyway (see Section 5.1.1.2), unless disabled with the troff command.
