Outputting Logs To The Log Buffer; Saving Logs To A Log File - H3C SR6600-X Configuration Manual

Outputting logs to the log buffer

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable the information center.
3. Enable log output to the log
buffer.
4. (Optional.) Set the maximum
number of logs that can be
stored in the log buffer.
5. Configure an output rule for
the log buffer.
6. (Optional.) Configure the
timestamp format.

Saving logs to a log file

By default, the log file feature saves logs from the log file buffer to a log file every 24 hours. You can
adjust the saving interval or manually save logs to a log file. After saving logs to a log file, the system
clears the log file buffer.
The device supports multiple log files. Each log file has a maximum capacity. The log files are named as
logfile1.log, logfile2.log, and so on. When the maximum capacity of logfile1.log is reached, the system
compresses logfile1.log as logfile1.log.gz and creates a new log file named logfile2.log. You can
download the compressed log files. When the last log file is full or the storage device runs out of space,
the system deletes the oldest log file and creates a new one.
You can enable log file overwrite-protection to stop the device from saving new logs when the last log file
is full or the storage device runs out of space.
To save logs to a log file:
