Note: The AP acquires its date and time information using the network time protocol (NTP). This data is reported
in UTC format (also known as Greenwich Mean Time). You need to convert the reported time to your local time.

ONFIGURING ERSISTENT
If the system unexpectedly reboots, log messages can be useful to diagnose the cause. However, log messages are erased
when the system reboots unless you enable persistent logging.
Caution! Enabling persistent logging can wear out the flash (non-volatile) memory and degrade network
performance. You should only enable persistent logging to debug a problem. Make sure you disable persistent
logging after you finish debugging the problem.
To configure persistent logging on the Events page, set the persistence, severity, and depth options as described in
and then click Update.

Description
Choose Enabled to save system logs to non-volatile memory so that the logs are not
erased when the AP reboots. Choose Disabled to save system logs to volatile memory.
Logs in volatile memory are deleted when the system reboots.
Specify the severity level of the log messages to write to non-volatile memory. For
example, if you specify 2, critical, alert, and emergency logs are written to non-volatile
memory. Error messages with a severity level of 3–7 are written to volatile memory.
• 0—emergency
• 1—alert
• 2—critical
• 3—error
• 4—warning
• 5—notice
• 6—info
• 7—debug
You can store up to 128 messages in non-volatile memory. Once the number you
configure in this field is reached, the oldest log event is overwritten by the new log event.
