Troubleshoot Log Search
Why am I getting no results from my Log Search query?
Sometimes you may receive no results because your search criteria is too narrow,
In this case it may help to broaden your search by searching only by sender or
recipient plus time range. Also, if a message is not displayed in the search results,
the sender connection may have been blocked by Connection Manager. For more
details, see “What happened to an inbound message?” on page 376.
Why am I receiving an error message when I enter a Log Search query?
The maximum number of messages a Log Search query can return is
approximately 15,000. Queries that return more than this limit result in an error
message. If this occurs, you can refine your search by including additional criteria
-- for example, search by both sender and recipient.
In some cases you may also reduce the number of messages in the search
results by limiting your search to an organization that’s lower in the hierarchy.
I am receiving several pages of results from my Log Search query, but I can’t

If this happens, refine your search criteria by including both the sender and
recipient in the query, as well as other criteria such as Sender MTA or
Disposition.

View Reports privileges. For more information about Log Search privileges within
your organization, see “Administrative Privileges for Message Log Search” on
page 356.
