Saving security logs into the security log file

Introduction
You can understand the device status, locate and troubleshoot network problems by viewing system
information, especially the security logs. Generally, all kinds of system information including security logs
is output into one folder, and it is difficult to recognize and check the security logs among all kinds of
system information.
This function enables the system to save the security logs into the security log file in a specific directory
without affecting the current output rules of the system information. It means that the system picks up all
security logs from the system information, copies and saves them into the security log file in a specified
directory when outputting the system information to different destinations. You can perform centralized
management to the security logs and view the security logs conveniently.
The configuration of this feature and the management of the security log file are separated, and the
security log file is managed by a privileged user. After logging in to the device, the administrator can
enable the saving of security logs into the security log file and configure related parameters by executing
the commands listed in

prompts "% Execution error". The system administrator can view, copy and rename other types of files.
