Enhancing with System Logs

What Are System Logs?

System logs are internal diagnostics generated by Apple devices that contain data on all the device internal measurements and decisions from the internal Wi‑Fi systems.

They provide insight beyond signal strength alone.

What Logs Unlock in nOversight

When logs are imported, you can see:

• Signal‑to‑noise ratio (SNR)

• Retry rates

• Congestion levels

• Roaming reasons and steering behaviour

Taking a log directly after a walk test, will allow you to enhance the data and see a lot more detail about your Wi-Fi performance.
