ArkManager issues messages as it performs tasks for each job. The Archive Log displays error, warning, and normal messages reported by all jobs on a selected archive server. You can filter log entries to view only those messages of interest (such as by severity type or by job), to set the number of messages to view per page, and to specify the date of the messages you want to jump to first in the log.

The Archive Log contains all messages for selected jobs on a selected archive server. By default, the log displays messages for all severity types and for all jobs, beginning with the current date and time. Each log entry displays the following information:
