Configure and View Logs

The switch generates messages in response to events, 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.
From the Monitoring > Logs menu, you can access links to the features described following
sections:
•

Manage the Buffered Logs

• Manage the Flash Log

Manage the Buffered Logs
The buffered log stores messages in RAM memory based on the settings for message
component and severity. You can set the administrative status and behavior of logs in the
system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch reboots.
