Chapter 4 System Status and Port Logging 47
This chapter describes the system status and port logs available for the
Digi Passport.
Available options for system status an port logs
The Digi Passport unit provides four options for saving system status and
and port logs:
• A syslog server
• An NFS server
• A removable flash storage device (PC card or USB)
• The Digi Passport unit’s memory
When memory is selected as the storage location, log files are saved to
volatile memory, meaning files are lost when the power is turned off. To use
a syslog server, an NFS server, or flash, enable the devices and/or enter
the required information, then designate them as storage locations.
System logs track events such as logins, authentication failures, system
configuration changes, and more. Port logs, on the other hand, document
the data flow through the serial ports. This chapter outlines locations for
viewing the system and port logs.
