Figure 3-1 Configuring the Local Log
Follow these steps to configure the local log:
1) Select your desired channel and configure the corresponding severity and status.
Channel Local log includes 2 channels: log buffer and log file.
Log buffer indicates the RAM for saving system log. The channel is
enabled by default. The information in the log buffer is displayed on the
Maintenance > Log> Log Table page. It will be lost when the switch is
restarted.
Log File indicates the flash sector for saving system log. The information in
the log file will not be lost after the switch is restarted and can be exported
on the Maintenance > Log > Backup Log page.
Severity Specify the severity level of the log information that is saved to the
selected channel. Only the log with the same or smaller severity level value
can be saved. There are 8 severity levels marked from 0 to 7. The smaller
value means the higher priority.
Status Enable or disable the channel.
Sync-Periodic By default, the log information is saved in the log buffer immediately, and
synchronized to the log file every 24 hours. If necessary, you can modify
the log synchronization frequency using the CLI.
2) Click Apply.
3.1.2 Configuring the Remote Log
Remote Log enables the switch to send system logs to a host. To display the logs, the host
should run a log server that complies with the syslog standard.
