Using Configuration Logging

You can log and view changes to the switch configuration. You can use the Configuration Change
Logging and Notification feature to track changes on a per-session and per-user basis. The logger tracks
each configuration command that is applied, the user who entered the command, the time that the
command was entered, and the parser return code for the command. This feature includes a mechanism
for asynchronous notification to registered applications whenever the configuration changes. You can
choose to have the notifications sent to the syslog.
