Configuring an Event Log 
A event log file contains information used to direct events, alarms, traps, and debug information to 
their respective destinations. One or more event sources can be specified. File IDs, SNMP trap 
groups, or syslog IDs must be configured before they can be applied to an event log ID. 
Use the following CLI syntax to configure a log file:
