Saving Security Logs Into The Security Log File; Managing The Security Log File - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Saving security logs into the security log file

After you enable the saving of the security logs into the security log file, the system first outputs security
logs to the security log file buffer, and then saves the logs from the security log file buffer into the security
log file at a specified interval (the security log administrator can also manually save security logs into the
log file). After the security logs are saved, the buffer is cleared immediately.
The device supports only one security log file. To avoid security log loss, you can set an alarm threshold
for the security log file usage. When the alarm threshold is reached, the system outputs a message to
inform the administrator. The administrator can log in to the device as the security log administrator and
back up the security log file to prevent the loss of important data.
To save security logs into the security log file:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable the information center.
3. Enable the saving of the
security logs into the security
log file.
4. Set the interval at which the
system saves security logs.
5. (Optional.) Set the maximum
size of the security log file.
6. (Optional.) Set the alarm
threshold of the security log
file usage.

Managing the security log file

To manage and maintain the security log file, the security log administrator must pass local AAA
authentication first. For more information about security log administrator, see Security Configuration
Guide.
