Symptoms

No place to request additional lines of the original display.

Cause

These are known 5.3.x version issues. We had them addressed in 5.4.0.0 only, where new Logs & Console pages were introduced.

Resolution

Upgrade to 5.4 when available. 
 
  • Logs page allows to walk through the logs for each VTE with “next” and “prev” buttons and 10 000 lines step size + line search capabilities (mirrors the behavior of Logs button in webconsole):


 
  • Console page allows to execute the VT commands (just like previous Command Interface page) and see last 1 500 lines of those commands output and tries to replicate the behavior of VTCON terminal utility with some new abilities, like – last 10 commands history, commands+options help, autoscrolling and etc. The mentioned problem with update should be fixed as well.
