GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switches
Logs
The switch might generate messages in response to faults, or errors occurring on the
platform as well as changes in configuration or other occurrences. These messages are
stored locally and can be forwarded to one or more centralized points of collection for
monitoring purposes or long-term archival storage. Local and remote configuration of the
logging capability includes filtering of messages logged or forwarded based on severity and
generating component.
The Logs
tab contains menus that provide access to the following features
Buffered Logs
Server Log
Trap Logs
Buffered Logs
The buffered log stores messages in memory based on the settings for message component
and severity. Use the Buffered Logs screen to set the administrative status and behavior of
logs in the system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch reboots.
To configure the Buffered Logs settings:
1.
Select
Monitoring > Logs > Buffered Logs
.
2.
In the Admin Status field select Enable to enable system logging or Disable to disable it.
3.
In the Behavior field, select the Wrap behavior of the log when it is full.
In this behavior, when the buffer is full, the oldest log messages are deleted as the
system logs new messages.
4.
If you change the buffered logs settings, click
APPLY
to apply the changes to the system
and save them.
The Total Number of Messages field is displayed. This contains the number of messages
the system has logged in memory. Only the 64 most recent entries are displayed.
The rest of the screen displays the buffered logs messages. Messages logged to a
collector or relayed through syslog have the following format:
10 31 2012 14:17:43%AAA-I-DISCONNECT: http connection for user
admin, source 10.5.70.19 destination 10.5.234.201 TERMINATED
