# View log entries from specific servers and archive folders

You can specify which servers and storage folders to include.

##

By default, the Logs view fetches data from the active log storage folder for all data storage servers, except those Log Servers that are excluded from log browsing.

You view logs from the active storage folder on specific Log Servers and Management Servers. You can also view logs from archives stored on Log Servers or archives stored locally on the computer where you are using the SMC Client. In an environment with multiple Management Servers, active alerts are automatically replicated between the Management Servers. Log Servers store all logs that other components have sent to it as well as audit data for the Log Server’s own operation.
