Managing Log Files
HP Fabric Switch devices log essential information to facilitate system audits and troubleshooting.
These log files should be checked to locate performance bottlenecks and error conditions. Logs
are saved on flash memory, and are rotated based on user-definable settings Logs can be uploaded
via FTP to an FTP server for archiving off-box viewing.
Event Message Types
There are five types of event messages stored in the logs:
• CONFIG - Used to log user configuration changes.
• INFO - Used to log informational events. No user action is needed. (e.g., card
insertion/removal, port up/down).
• WARN - Used to log warning conditions. An abnormal condition was detected. The condition
may have been self-corrected by the system or some user action may be needed.
• ERROR - Used to log an error condition. An error condition was detected. Some user action
is required. (e.g., the system is low in memory - the user may have to disable some features).
• FATAL - Used to log fatal condition. A fatal error condition was detected. There is nothing
the user can do to fix the problem (except rebooting the device).
