Logs

The switch might generate messages in response to faults, or errors occurring on the
platform as well as changes in configuration or other occurrences. These messages are
stored locally and can be forwarded to one or more centralized points of collection 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 severity and
generating component.
The Logs tab contains menus that provide access to the following features
•

Buffered Logs

• Flash Logs
• Server Log
• Trap Logs
Buffered Logs
The buffered log stores messages in RAM memory based on the settings for message
component and severity. Use the Buffered Logs screen to set the administrative status and
behavior of logs in the system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch
reboots.
To configure the Buffered Logs settings:

1. Select Monitoring > Logs > Buffered Logs.
2. In the Admin Status field select Enable to enable system logging or Disable to disable it.
The factory default setting is Enable.
3. In the Behavior field, select the Wrap behavior of the log when it is full.
In this behavior, when the buffer is full, the oldest log messages are deleted as the
system logs new messages.
4. If you change the buffered logs settings, click Apply to apply the changes to the system and
save them.
