System Monitoring Overview

What System Information Is Monitored?

The CLI and web-based interfaces provide information about physical
aspects of the switch, such as system health and cable diagnostics, as well as
information about system events, such as management login history. The
switch also reports system resource usage.
The system logging utility can monitor a variety of events, including the
following:
• System events — System state changes and errors that range in severity
from Emergency to Debug
• Audit events — Attempts to login or logout from the switch and attempts
to perform any operations with files on the flash drive
• CLI commands — Commands executed from the CLI
• Web page visits — Pages viewed by using OpenManage Switch
Administrator
• SNMP events — SNMP set operations
