Select Tools > Log Files to view or download the current Pega log, Security log, or Alert log on the server node you are using.
Click a file name to view one of the three logs. Typically the date portion of the file name indicates that this file contains only log instances since the start of that day (in local time on the server).
The initial display shows only lines of the log for your own Operator ID (for all your sessions on this node), in pages of 25 lines each. Click a number at the bottom of the display to see the corresponding page, or next to see the next group.
Click the Options link to view or set log filtering criteria. Click Apply to review the log again with updated criteria, or Back to return to the initial window with no changes.

information and instructions.
By default, to reduce the demand on system resources, the system first writes log output to a memory buffer that is 8 kilobytes in size. As a result, the contents on the disk log file may not yet contain output written minutes ago or even in some cases hours ago, depending on volume.
