Logs can be configured in the following contexts:
• Log file — log files can contain log event message streams or accounting/billing 
information. Log file IDs are used to direct events, alarms/traps, and debug 
information to their respective targets.
• SNMP trap groups — SNMP trap groups contain an IP address and community 
names that identify targets to send traps following specified events
• Syslog — information can be sent to a syslog host that is capable of receiving 
selected syslog messages from a network element
• Event control — configures a particular event, or all events associated with an 
application, to be generated or suppressed
• Event filters — an event filter defines whether to forward or drop an event or trap 
based on match criteria
• Accounting policies — an accounting policy defines the accounting records that 
will be created. Accounting policies can be applied to one or more service 
access points (SAPs) and to network ports.
• Event logs — an event log defines the types of events to be delivered to an 
associated destination
• Event throttling rate — defines the rate of throttling events
