About Message Log Search
As the message security service processes your messages, data about these
messages is captured and stored in a log. The Message Log Search feature
enables you to run searches on this data using different criteria. You can then
view the search results and drill down to details about specific messages.
Use Message Log Search to track messages for inbound and outbound traffic,
and to track all messages for a specific sender, recipient, domain, or MTA
address. You can also use Message Log Search to confirm whether a specific
filter was triggered by a message and confirm the disposition. If necessary, you
can later analyze filter settings that may be affecting traffic.
Note:
Message Log Search data is managed and stored securely in Google data
centers. At this time, Message Log Search is not offered to accounts on Systems
20. For more information, see “About the Data” on page 356.
To get started, click the Log Search tab in the Administration Console.
Your access to the Log Search tab depends on your authorization privileges.
Access to Log Search is granted initially only to administrators who have
View Reports privileges. For more information about Log Search privileges within
your organization, see “Administrative Privileges for Message Log Search” on
page 356.
