The File Viewer allows you to monitor log files in the server installation, that is, the installation directory of the server to which EAServer Manager is connected.
Double-click the server for which you want to view files.
Highlight the Log File Viewer icon.
Select File | File Viewer Display.
The File Viewer appears. Use the tree view in the left side of the window to navigate the subdirectories of the server installation and select the log file to display.
In the default configuration, server log files are created
in the EAServer bin directory.
Text from the selected file appears in the right side of the File Viewer. Use the following controls to configure the viewing parameters:
Start/Stop – the Start/Stop button allows you to start and stop real-time viewing.
Refresh – select the frequency of the refresh rate.

Start Position – select the start position of the file you are viewing. Your options are:
