Enabling System Logging Services - Digi CM 32 User Manual

Chapter 5
Introduction
The Digi CM provides four options for saving system and port logs. The
options are: a syslog server, NFS server, compact-flash card, and the Digi CM
memory. The Digi CM memory is saved to volatile memory, meaning the
memory is cleared when the power is turned off. To use a syslog server, an
NFS server, or a compact-flash card, you must first enable the devices and
enter the required information. Compact-flash cards must be installed before
they can be enabled and configured for logging purposes.
System logs track events such as logins, authentication failures, system
configuration changes, and more. Port logs on the other hand document the
data flow through the serial ports. Locations for viewing the system and port
logs is outlined in this chapter.
