3.3.12.1.5 Making a Backup of Log Files on the NPU Flash
The system stores a maximum of 1000 log and trace messages in the log file, after
which the oldest messages are overwritten. This log file resides in the TFTP boot
directory (/tftpboot/management/system_logs/) of the NPU. You can TFTP this
file from the NPU flash. You can display the list of log files residing on the NPU
flash. For details, refer Section 3.3.12.1.7.
In addition, logs written to file are not maintained after system reset. If you have
enabled writing of logs to file, it is recommended that you periodically make a
backup of log messages on the NPU flash.
When you make a backup of log files on the NPU flash, the last 1000 log and trace
messages are stored in a compressed file, which is saved on the NPU flash. There
is no limit on the number of log files that can be saved unless there is inadequate
space on the NPU flash.
