Logs menu
The Element Manager provides logs that show a record of various events that have occurred on the
switch. Select the Logs menu to display the following logs.
For detailed information on using the log dialog boxes, see ”Using logs” on page 135.
• Audit Log—Provides a record of all configuration changes made on the switch. Each entry
displays the date and time of the change, a description of the change, the source of the change
(such as the HAFM appliance or SNMP management station), and an identifier for the source,
such as the IP address of the HAFM appliance or SNMP management station. See ”Audit Log”
on page 138.
• Event Log—Provides a record of significant events that have occurred on the switch, such as
hardware failures, degraded operation, and port problems. Each entry includes the date and
time of the event, a reason code for the event, a brief description, the severity level, and up to 32
bytes of supplementary event data. Refer to the appropriate service manual for your Edge Switch
for more information. See ”Event Log” on page 139.
• Hardware Log—Provides information on FRUs inserted and removed from the switch. Each
log entry includes the date and time the FRU was inserted or removed, the name of the FRU
inserted or removed, the slot position relative to identical FRUs installed, whether the FRU was
inserted or removed, the FRU part number and serial number. See ”Hardware Log” on
page 141.
• Link Incident Log—Provides the most recent incidents with their date and time, port number,
and a description of the incident. A link incident can be one of several conditions detected on a
fiber optic link. For a list of events that may cause a link incident to be written to the log, See
”Link Incident Log” on page 142.
This log includes link incidents from all group configuration elements. Individual link incidents
can also be viewed by drilling down to the Element Manager for that group configuration
element.
• Threshold Alerts Log—Provides notifications of threshold alerts. Besides the date and time
that the alert occurred, it also displays information that was configured through the Threshold
Alerts option under the Configure menu. This includes the date and time alert name, the port
for which the alert is configured, the type of alert (transmit throughput, receive throughput, or
both), percent usage of traffic capacity, minutes the threshold was configured for, and the
configured time interval for the threshold. See ”Threshold Alerts Log” on page 143.
• Open Trunking Log—Provides details on flow rerouting through switch ports. This log
displays only if the optional Open Trunking feature is installed. See ”Open Trunking Log” on
page 143.
• Security Log—Provides information about security events. See ”Security Log” on page 144.
• Switch Fabric Log (Advanced log)—Provides information about switches in a fabric. See
”Switch Fabric Log (Advanced log)” on page 150.
• Embedded Port Log (Advanced log)—Provides a detailed history log of all traffic passing
through the embedded port. See ”Embedded Port Log (Advanced log)” on page 147.
