For common and diagnostic log files, the system automatically compresses them into .gz files when they
are full.

Collecting common log messages

1. Save common log messages from the log buffer to a log file.
By default, log files are saved in the logfile directory of the CF card on the active MPU (in
standalone mode) or global active MPU (in IRF mode).
<Sysname> logfile save
The contents in the log file buffer have been saved to the file
cfa0:/logfile/logfile8.log
2. Identify the log files on each MPU:
# Display the log files on the active MPU (in standalone mode) or global active MPU (in IRF mode).
<Sysname> dir cfa0:/logfile/
Directory of cfa0:/logfile
0 -rw-
1021104 KB total (421552 KB free)
# Display the log files on each standby MPU:
In standalone mode, display the log files on the standby MPU.
