The issue you are facing:
GUI view of logging in Administrative Setting is not visible

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? YES:

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Enabled SSO & SAML Authentication. Then selected logging in Administrative settings and log view does not appear.
  2. Disabled SSO & SAML Authentication. I again select logging within Administrative settings and now logs are now visible
  3. Enabled SSO & SAML Authentication again. Select Logging again and logs do not appear in GUI.
