Event Log Management
The Management – Event Log page displays the current contents of the event log on the
router.
The event log is stored in a pseudo-file called “eventlog.txt”. It acts as a circular buffer so
that when there is no space available for new entries, the oldest entries are overwritten.
Each entry in the log normally consists of a single line containing the date, time and a brief
description of the event. In some case it may also identify:
the type/number of the protocol instance the generated the message (e.g. PPP 0)
a reason code
Additional information such as an X.25 address or ISDN telephone number.
The specific events that generate a log entry are pre-defined and cannot be altered
although the text and priority of each event can be modified. This can be done via the
Configuration - Alarms > Event Logcodes page.
