The show log command displays a specified log file. It is helpful for obtaining diagnostic information. The syslog file is shown by default if no log is specified. The IF-MAP log displays all the IF-MAP protocol related events. It contains the XML messages communicated between Infoblox Orchestration Server and the clients.

Syntax

Use this command to display the contents of a specified log file.

Argument	Description
`syslog`	Displays the syslog log file.
`debug`	Displays the debug log file.
`audit`	Displays the audit log file.
`ifmapclient`	Displays the IF-MAP log on the DHCP server when it is configured as an IF-MAP client.
`ifmapserver`	Displays the IF-MAP log on Infoblox Orchestration Server.
`log num`	Allows you to view rolled logs by specifying a number from 0 to 9. You can use this option when you display the syslog file, audit log, and ifmap log.
`tail <num>`	Shows the last num lines from the log file or, if no number is specified, the last 10 lines are displayed.
`/regex/`	Matches the pattern specified in regex and displays the matched lines from the selected log file. To insert "/" in the search pattern, use escape sequence \/. The search string starts at the first forward slash (/) ends at the second forward slash (/), and ignores the remaining. For information about regular expressions, see Appendix B, Regular Expressions, in the Infoblox Administrator Guide.
