Event Log Menu
The Event Log Menu enables controlling the event log feature. The event
log is an important debugging tool and a flash memory sector is
dedicated for storing it. Events are classified according to their severity
level: Message (lowest severity), Warning, Error or Fatal (highest
severity).
The severity at which events are saved in the Event Log is configurable.
Events from the configured severity and higher are saved and may be
displayed upon request. Log history can be displayed up to the full
number of current active events. In the log, an event is defined as active
as long as it has not been erased (a maximum of 1000 events may be
stored). The Event Log may be read using TFTP, with remote file name
<SNMP Read Community>.log (the default SNMP Read Community is
“public”). The Event Log may also be uploaded to a remote FTP server.
The Event Log Menu includes the following options:
! Event Log Policy
! Display Event Log
! Erase Event Log
! Event Load Upload
Event Log Policy
The Event Log Policy determines the minimal severity level. All events
whose severity is equal to or higher than the defined severity are logged.
Valid values are: Message (MSG) Level, Warning (WRN) Level, Error
(ERR) Level, Fatal (FTL) Level, Log None.
The default selection is Warning Level severity.
Display Event Log
The Display Event Log option enables viewing how many events are
logged and selecting the number of events to be displayed (up to 1000).
The display of each event includes the event time (elapsed time since
last reset), the severity level and a message string. The events are
displayed in descending order, with the most recent event displayed
first.
Erase Event Log
The Erase Event Log option enables clearing the event log.
