Event Management System/Logging
ExtremeWare XOS 10.1 Concepts Guide 109
This setting may be saved to the FLASH configuration and will be restored on boot up (to the
console-display session).
To turn on log display for the current session:
enable log target session
This setting only affects the current session, and is lost when you log off the session.
The messages that are displayed depend on the configuration and format of the target. See the section,
“Filtering Events Sent to Targets”, for information on message filtering, and the section, “Formatting
Event Messages”, for information on message formatting.
Displaying Events Logs
The log stored in the memory buffer and the NVRAM can be displayed on the current session (either
the console display or telnet). Use the following command to display the log:
show log {messages [memory-buffer | nvram]} {events {<event-condition> |
<event-component>]} {<severity> {only}} {starting [date <date> time <time> | date
<date> | time <time>]} {ending [date <date> time <time> | date <date> | time <time>]}
{match <regex>} {chronological}
There are many options you can use to select the log entries of interest. You can select to display only
those messages that conform to the specified:
• severity
• starting and ending date and time
• match expression
The displayed messages can be formatted differently from the format configured for the targets, and
you can choose to display the messages in order of newest to oldest, or in chronological order (oldest to
newest).
Uploading Events Logs
The log stored in the memory buffer and the NVRAM can be uploaded to a TFTP server. Use the
following command to upload the log:
upload log <ipaddress> <filename> {messages [memory-buffer | nvram] {events
{<event-condition> | <event_component>}}} {<severity> {only}} {starting [date <date>
time <time> | date <date> | time <time>]} {ending [date <date> time <time> | date
<date> | time <time>]} {match <regex>} {chronological}
You must specify the TFTP host and the filename to use in uploading the log. There are many options
you can use to select the log entries of interest. You can select to upload only those messages that
conform to the specified:
• severity
• starting and ending date and time
• match expression
