Software User Manual 12/10/09 D-Link Unified Access System Figure 33: Console Log Configuration Field Admin Status Severity Filter Table 25: Console Log Configuration Fields Description From the menu, select whether to enable or disable console logging. The default is disabled. • Enabled: Prints log messages to the device attached to the switch serial port. • Disabled: Log messages do not print to the device attached to the switch serial port. Use the menu to select the severity of the logs to print to the console. Logs with the severity level you select and all logs of greater severity print. For example, if you select Error, the logged messages include Error, Critical, Alert, and Emergency. The default severity level is Alert(1). The severity can be one of the following levels: • Emergency (0): The highest level warning level. If the device is down or not functioning properly, an emergency log is saved to the device. • Alert (1): The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved if there is a serious device malfunction, such as all device features being down. • Critical (2): The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical device malfunction occurs, for example, two device ports are not functioning, while the rest of the device ports remain functional. • Error (3): A device error has occurred, such as if a port is offline. • Warning (4): The lowest level of a device warning. • Notice (5): Provides the network administrators with device information. • Informational (6): Provides device information. • Debug (7): Provides detailed information about the log. Debugging should only be entered by qualified support personnel. • If you make any changes to the page, click Submit to apply the change to the system. EVENT LOG Use the Event Log page to display the event log, which is used to hold error messages for catastrophic events. After the event is logged and the updated log is saved in flash memory, the switch will be reset. The log can hold at least 2,000 entries (the actual number depends on the platform and OS), and is erased when an attempt is made to add an entry after it is full. The event log is preserved across system resets. To access the Event Log page, click LAN > Monitoring > Log > System Log in the navigation tree. Document 34CSFP6XXUWS-SWUM100-D7 Managing Logs Page 87
