You can view the logs grouped by the module that they belong to. For example, the monitoring and
troubleshooting logs contain the string MSGCAT and the debug logs contain the string debug.
From the ACS CLI, you can enter the following two commands to view the monitoring and
troubleshooting logs and the administrative logs respectively:
• show logging system | include MSGCAT
• show logging system | include debug
The output of the show logging system | include MSGCAT would be similar to:
