historymode historymode Displays or sets the mode of the history log. Synopsis historymode [mode] Availability Admin Release V4.1.x Description Use this command to display or set the mode (as rotating or first-in) of the history buffer. The history log buffer can have two modes of accepting new entries after it has reached its maximum size: ■ Rotating mode: new messages overwrite the oldest messages in the log. ■ First-in mode: once the log is full, all additional logs are discarded, so that the first set of logs to fill the buffer is preserved. This command enables you to display the current history log mode and change between them. It also enables you to clear the history log buffer whenever the mode is changed. This command, with no operand, displays the current history mode value. This command, with an operand specified, sets the history mode to the new value. Operands This command has the following operands: mode Specify rot for a rotating buffer, or fi for First-in mode. This operand is optional. Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide 357
