Configuring Event Logging
– 356 –
The System Logs page allows you to configure and limit system messages that are
logged to flash or RAM memory. The default is for event levels 0 to 3 to be logged
to flash and levels 0 to 7 to be logged to RAM.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ System Log Status – Enables/disables the logging of debug or error messages
to the logging process. (Default: Enabled)
◆ Flash Level – Limits log messages saved to the switch’s permanent flash
memory for all levels up to the specified level. For example, if level 3 is
specified, all messages from level 0 to level 3 will be logged to flash.
(Range: 0-7, Default: 3)
◆ RAM Level – Limits log messages saved to the switch’s temporary RAM
memory for all levels up to the specified level. For example, if level 7 is
specified, all messages from level 0 to level 7 will be logged to RAM. (Range: 0-
7, Default: 7)
Note:
The Flash Level must be equal to or less than the RAM Level.
Note:
All log messages are retained in RAM and Flash after a warm restart (i.e.,
power is reset through the command interface).
Note:
All log messages are retained in Flash and purged from RAM after a cold
restart (i.e., power is turned off and then on through the power source).
