Log File Commands
Page 470 7450 ESS System Mangement Guide
If sufficient space is not available an attempt is made to remove the oldest to newest closed log or
accounting files. After each file is deleted, the system attempts to create the new file.
A medium severity trap is issued to indicate that a compact flash is either not available or that no
space is available on the specified flash and that the backup location is being used.
A high priority alarm condition is raised if none of the configured compact flash devices for this file
ID are present or if there is insufficient space available. If space does becomes available, then the
alarm condition will be cleared.
Use the no form of this command to revert to default settings.
Default Log files are created on cf1: and accounting files are created on cf2:.
Parameters cflash-id — Specify the primary location.
Values cflash-id: cf1:, cf2:, cf3:

rollover
Syntax rollover minutes [retention hours]
no rollover
Context config>log>file file-id
Description This command configures how often an event or accounting log is rolled over or partitioned into a
new file.
An event or accounting log is actually composed of multiple, individual files. The system creates a
new file for the log based on the rollover time, expressed in minutes.
The retention option, expressed in hours, allows you to modify the default time to keep the file in the
system. The retention time is based on the rollover time of the file.
When multiple rollover commands for a file-id are entered, the last command overwrites the
previous command.
Default rollover 1440 retention 12
Parameters minutes — The rollover time, in minutes.
Values 5 — 10080
retention hours. The retention period in hours, expressed as a decimal integer. The retention time is
based on the time creation time of the file. The file becomes a candidate for removal once the
creation datestamp + rollover time + retention time is less than the current timestamp.
Default 12
Values 1 — 500
