Once a log is selected, it opens in the GNU Nano text editor.
The GNU Nano is a text editor that is suited to working in UNIX, as it does not rely on the mouse, but still has many useful features.
Most nano commands are invoked by holding down the Ctrl key (that is, the control key), and pressing one of the other keys. In this text, the control key is referenced using ^ (for example, ^G means hold down the CTRL key and press the g key). Most of the important Dell Security Management Server Virtual commands are listed below Figure 2.
For example, enter ^G (CTRL+G) for the GNU nano's help menu.
