Logs

The AP generates messages in response to events, faults, errors, changes in
configuration, and other occurrences. The messages are stored locally. In addition, you
can configure the AP to forward the messages to a remote server for monitoring purposes
or long-term archival storage. Local and remote configuration of the logging capability
includes filtering of messages logged or forwarded based on their severity.
