Introduction

The Logs feature of HP Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) provides a quick view to analyze the various logs produced on your device fleet. The logs are useful in monitoring and troubleshooting error conditions.

The logs are categorized as follows:

  • Errors: These logs relate to issues such as device enrollment failures, errors while exporting device details, processing device warranties, adding users, or installing applications.

  • Warnings: These indicate potential issues, such as antivirus being disabled, upcoming warranty expiration, secure boot being disabled, company PIN expiration, or subscription expiration.

  • Information: These logs capture successful actions like device enrollment, user addition, firewall enablement, and application installation.
