Apple noob here. I am checking someone's Macbook Air 3,1 from late 2010, it has been patched to El Capitan 10.11.3. They have been reporting some hangs while using Safari on the net, no specific website or application scenario such as playing videos, just general. The system becomes unresponsive, the 'rainbow' busy pinwheel will come up and it either will hang there for several seconds before resolving, or will require a force closure of Safari or the webpage. No useful error messages appear. I have NOT reproduced this.
Ran system diagnostics (from within OS X), also Apple Hardware Diagnostics (booted into it), disk and filesystem checks. Everything comes back good. I deleted temp caches, temporary files, internet history, and that stuff. At any rate, it has a 64GB SSD with 28GB free space. I wanted to check the logs to see if there had been any blocks that are being replaced/remapped to spares, some wear-leveling events happening. Basically, I want to check the health metrics of the SSD but I cannot find anything that will report that stuff in more detail than just the user-friendly indicator or message.
I don't have enough savvy to know where the event logs and crash logs are, or to parse them. I might have cleared the older ones, too. Not sure, since I don't really know what I'm doing on a Mac. lol
