System Logs

Remote system logging allows you to configure the logging of system
messages directly from the Web interface and the command line interface
(CLI).
The system log messages are categorized, by severity, into eight levels. The
levels range from 0 for Emergencies to 7 for Debugging. See the following
table for descriptions:
Level Argument
Emergencies
Alerts
Critical
Errors
Warnings
Notifications

Debugging
The system allows you to specify which levels are logged to RAM or flash
memory.
To assist in troubleshooting network problems, severe error messages that
are logged to flash memory are permanently stored in the switch. Up to 4 K
log entries can be stored in the flash memory. When the available memory
for logs exceeds 256 KB, the oldest entries are overwritten.
System Logs Configuration
The Switch/General/System Logs page allows you to configure and limit
system messages that are logged to flash or RAM memory. The default is set
for levels 0 to 3 to be logged to flash and levels 0 to 7 to be logged to RAM.
The Switch/General/System Logs page contains the following fields that
can be edited:
•
System Log Status — Enables/disables the logging of debug or error
messages to the logging process.
