Using Log Information

The HAFM, Element Manager, and EWS applications provide access to logs that
provide information for administration, operation, and maintenance personnel.
Each log stores up to 1,000 entries. The most recent entry displays at the top of a
log. If a log is full, a new entry overwrites the oldest entry.
Five logs are accessed through the HAFM application:
For a description of the HAFM Logs and an explanation of the button functions at
the bottom of the log window, refer to the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager
User Guide.
Six logs are accessed through the Element Manager application:
Edge Switch 2/24 Service Manual
Audit Log—Displays a history of user actions performed through the HAFM
application. This information is useful for system administrators and users.
Event Log—Displays events or error conditions recorded by the HAFM
Services application. Entries reflect the status of the application and managed
switches.
Information associated with a call-home failure is intended for use by
maintenance personnel to fault isolate the problem, while information
provided in all other entries is generally intended for use by third-level
support personnel to fault isolate more significant problems.
Session Log—Displays session (login and logout) history for the HAFM
appliance, including the date and time, username, and network address of
each session. This information is useful for system administrators and users.
Product Status Log—Displays an entry when the status of a switch changes.
The log reflects the previous status and current status of the switch, and
indicates the instance of an Element Manager application that should be
opened to investigate a problem. The information is useful to maintenance
personnel for fault isolation and repair verification.
Fabric Log—Displays the time and nature of significant changes in the
managed fabric.
Edge Switch 2/24 Audit Log—Displays a history of all configuration
changes made to a switch from the Element Manager application, a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management workstation open
systems host, or the maintenance port. This information is useful for
administrators and users.
