• Log Management Access Events — Enables or disables generating logs when the device is accessed
using a management method. For example, each time the device is accessed using SSH, a device log is
generated.
• Severity — Displays the severity logs. The following are the severity log levels. When a severity level is
selected, all severity level choices above the selection are selected automatically.
– Emergency — The highest warning level. If the device is down or not functioning properly,
an emergency log message is saved to the specified logging location.
– Alert — The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved if there is a serious device
malfunction, for example, an attempt was made to download a non-existing configuration file.
– Critical — The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical device malfunction
occurs, for example, two device ports are not functioning, while the rest of the device ports remain
functional.
– Error — A device error has occurred, for example, a copy operation has failed.
– Warning — The lowest level of a device warning. For example, the device is functioning, but a port
link is currently down.
– Notice — Provides important device information.
– Informational — Provides device information. For example, a port is currently up.
– Debug — Provides debugging messages.

RAM (Cache).
