Event log configuration
This section describes the following tasks:
Starting and stopping event logging
, page 105
Displaying the event log
, page 106
Managing the event log configuration
, page 107
Clearing the event log
, page 108
Logging to a remote host
, page 108
Creating and downloading a log file
, page 109
Event messages originate from the switch or from the management application in response to events that
occur in the fabric. For a complete listing of switch event messages, see the
HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre
Channel Switch Event Messages Reference Guide
.
Events are classified by the following severity levels:
Alarm
—The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the administration or operation of a
fabric and require administrator intervention.
Critical
—The critical level describes events that are generally disruptive to the administration or
operation of the fabric, but require no action.
Warning
—The warning level describes events that are generally not disruptive to the administration or
operation of the fabric, but are more important than the informative level events.
Informative
—The informative level describes routine events associated with a normal fabric.
Starting and stopping event logging
To stop recording event messages in the switch log, enter the
set log stop
command in an Admin
session, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> set log stop
To start recording event messages in the switch log, enter the
set log start
command in an Admin
session, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> set log start
