Managing logs
System logs contain a large amount of network and device information, including running status and
configuration changes. System logs allow administrators to access network and device status. With
system logs, administrators can take corresponding actions against network and security problems.
The system sends system logs to the following destinations:
Console.
•
Monitor terminal, a terminal that has logged in to the device through the AUX, VTY, or TTY user
•
interface.
Log buffer.
•
Log host.
•
•
Web interface.
Displaying syslogs
To view system logs, select Device > Syslog from the navigation tree.
On the page that appears, you can click Clear to clear all system logs saved in the log buffer on the Web
interface. You can click Refresh to manually refresh the page, or you can set the refresh interval on the
Log Setup page to enable the system to automatically refresh the page. For more information, see
"Setting buffer capacity and refresh
interval."
