Access the MonitorD log file through the Site Daemons.
- Engine log file
Access the engine log file through the Network Monitor (Process Controls dialog box or the context menu for process management).
Automatic log cycling
Configure automatic log cycling through the Process Configuration dialog box of the Network Configurator.
