portLogShow 2 portLogShow Displays the port log with page breaks. SYNOPSIS portlogshow [count[, saved]] DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the port log with page breaks. This command displays the same information as portLogDump, but one page at a time. The port log is a circular log file in the switch firmware which can save up to 65,536 entries depending on the hardware platform. Use portLogConfigShow to display the current port log size. Once the log has reached the maximum size, new entries replace the oldest ones. The port log captures switch-to-device, device-to-switch, switch-to-switch, some device-to-device, and control information. If the command is executed while the port log is disabled, a warning message is displayed. Refer to the portLogClear command for more information. For each log entry, the following information is displayed: Time Displays the event date and time in milliseconds. The clock resolution is 16 milliseconds. Task Displays the name of the task that logged the event or "interrupt" if the event was logged in interrupt context, or "unknown" if the task no longer exists. Event Displays the task event that generated the log entry.
