System Management Guide Event and Accounting Logs
Edition: 01 3HE 11018 AAAC TQZZA 237
5.2 Log Destinations
Both event logs and accounting logs use a common mechanism for referencing a log
destination. The 7705 SAR supports the following log destinations:
• Console
• Session
• Memory Logs
• Log Files
• SNMP Trap Group
• Syslog
An event log can be associated with multiple event sources, but it can only have a
single log destination. Any of the supported log destinations can be configured for an
event log.
For an accounting log, the only type of log destination that can be configured is a file
destination.
5.2.1 Console
Sending events to a console destination means the message will be sent to the
system console. The console device can be used as an event log destination.
5.2.2 Session
A session destination is a temporary log destination that directs entries to the active
Telnet or SSH session for the duration of the session. When the session is
terminated, for example, when the user logs out, the event log is removed. Event logs
configured with a session destination are not stored in the configuration file. Event
logs can direct log entries to the session destination.
