3. To sort the logs, click the header on which you want to sort (e.g. Device SeqID, Device Date, etc.) until the desired sort is
performed (up arrow for descending or down arrow for ascending).
4. Click Close to close the window.
9.6.5 Disabling and Re-enabling Logs from a Device
You can disable logs from a device as follows:
1. From the Physical Network view, select the device or devices on which you want to disable logs.
2. Select Tools -> Application Manager from the Panel-Specific Menu.
3. Select SysLog Manager from the Application Manager pull-down menu.
Note: For a single device, you can also access the SysLog Manager panel by right-clicking the device in the
Physical Network view, and then select Provision -> Syslog Management from the pop-up menu.
4. In the SysLog Manager panel, select the device or devices in the list (use Shift+right-click to select multiple devices), and
then click Modify. The Modify Log Properties form will appear as shown in Figure 9-16.
5. In the Modify Log Properties form, uncheck the Enable Device Log(s) checkbox, and then click OK. This will close the
form. On the SysLog Manager panel, the Status for each selected device will change to Disabled. The logs for these
devices are now disabled.
To re-enable disabled logs, repeat this procedure except check the Enabled Device Logs(s) checkbox in the last step. The Sta-
tus for each selected device in the SysLog Manager panel will change to Enabled, which indicates that the logs are enabled
for the device(s).
9.6.6 OTHER Event Type
An additional Event Type, OTHER, is for all other log events that are not part of the other event types. This event type can
include events from debug, kernel, and third party devices.
Note: Because of the special nature of this event type, the user may find it useful to create a custom view to
isolate this event type (in the Custom View form the user would fill in the Category field as SYSLOG-
OTHER and then Apply Filter). This view could then be exported to a file for further analysis.
