As mentioned above, if you are allowed to use the Log Viewer, you will see a "View Log" tab in your account's user interface. Log into the MassTransit web site and open the "View Log" tab to see information from the Log window of the MassTransit Administrator application.
Log Viewer Options
Depending on the assigned privileges, you will be able to see all log entries of the Log window or only log entries specified by the MassTransit administrator contacts. In addition, there are filters which you can set for displaying the information in a more convenient view and an option for auto-refreshing the displayed log entries.
