@MP18,

My understanding of the process is that it's what actually writes the log files to pretty much everything on the device. If that process is malfunctioning (you could check this via 'less mp-log logrcvr.log') then you wouldn't be getting any logs on the system.

@MP18,

If the logs aren't getting generated in the CLI or the GUI I would restart the actual log receiver process, not the management server. 

so what does log receiver process does ?

 

does it write logs on the PA so that they can be displayed?
