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. When memory is selected as the storage location, log files are saved
to volatile memory, meaning files are lost 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.
