4.5.1.2 Log button in the target status area

When you select the Log button, a new window opens that displays the log for all operations for
the task, including the following information:

A summary of the task level information

The information displayed in the target status table for the selected target

A block of information for each operation in the task, including the log

The log screen does not auto-refresh. It always shows the status information that was current at the
time you selected the Log button.

The Log button is disabled when the selected target is in the Pending state, because no log
information is available to be displayed. Pending operations do not have a log.
