The page provides various buttons to do the following actions:
Table 52-6: Buttons on Message Log Page
Button Description
Start Resumes the message log after it has been stopped (see the Stop button).
Stop Stops the message log, allowing you to easily scroll through the messages to a
specific message.
Clear Clears the message log. The button can only be clicked after you have stopped
the message log (see the Stop button).
Note: If you navigate away from the Message Log page to another page, the
Message Log is stopped and cleared.
● It's not recommended to keep a Message Log session open for a prolonged period.
This may cause the device to overload. For prolonged (and detailed) debugging,
use an external Syslog server.
● The Message Log page provides limited Syslog server functionality.
■ Device's CLI: The device sends error messages (e.g., Syslog messages) to the CLI as well
as to the configured destination.
● To start debug recording:
debug log
● To stop debug recording:
no debug log
● To stop all debug recording:
no debug log all
■ Wireshark: Third-party, network protocol analyzer (http://www.wireshark.org).
When debug recording is enabled and Syslog messages are also included in the debug
recording, to view Syslog messages using Wireshark, you must install AudioCodes'
Wireshark plug-in (acsyslog.dll). Once the plug-in is installed, the Syslog messages are
decoded as "AC SYSLOG" and displayed using the "acsyslog" filter (instead of the
regular "syslog" filter). For more information on debug recording, see Debug Recording.
■ Third-party, Syslog Server: Any third-party, Syslog server program that enables filtering of
messages according to parameters such as priority, IP sender address, time, and date.
