Admin > Log
The Switch allows you to configure and limit system
messages that are logged to flash or RAM memory,
configure the logging of messages that are sent to remote
System Log (Syslog) servers, and set an event-level
threshold for sending e-mail alert messages to system
administrators .
Admin > Log
The following table describes the system event levels .
System Event Levels
Level † Severty Name Descrpton
6 Informational Informational Messages only

3 Error
Error conditions, such as invalid
input or default used
2 Critical
Critical conditions, such as
memory allocation, free
memory error, or resource
exhausted
1 Alert Immediate action needed
0 Emergency System unusable
There are only Level 2, 5 and 6 event messages for the current
firmware release . †
System Logging
The system allows you to enable or disable event logging,
and specify which event levels are logged to RAM or flash
memory . Severe error messages that are logged to flash
memory are permanently stored in the Switch to assist in
troubleshooting network problems .
System Log Status Enables/disables the logging of
debug or error messages to the logging process .
Flash Loggng Limits log messages saved to the Switch’s
permanent flash memory for all levels up to the specified
level . For example, if level 3 is specified, all messages from
level 0 to level 3 will be logged to flash .
NOTE: The Flash Level must be equal to or less
than the RAM Level .
Memory Loggng Limits log messages saved to the
Switch’s temporary memory for all levels up to the specified
level . For example, if level 6 is specified, all messages from
level 0 to level 6 will be logged to RAM .
Vew Flash Loggng Click the button to display log
messages stored in the Switch’s flash memory .
Vew Memory Loggng Click the button to display log
messages stored in the Switch’s RAM memory .
Enable the System Log Status, set the level of event
messages to be logged to RAM and flash memory, then
click Save Settngs .
Syslog
Allows you to configure the logging of messages that
are sent to remote Syslog servers . You can limit the event
messages sent to only those messages at or above a
specified level .
Remote Log Status Enables/disables the logging of
debug or error messages to the remote logging process .
(Default: Dsabled)
Loggng Faclty Sets the facility type for remote logging
of Syslog messages . There are eight facility types specified
by values of 16 to 23 . The facility type is used by the Syslog
server to dispatch log messages to an appropriate service .
The attribute specifies the facility type tag sent in Syslog
messages . (See RFC 3164 .) This type has no effect on the
kind of messages reported by the Switch . However, it
may be used by the Syslog server to process messages,
such as sorting or storing messages in the corresponding
database . (Range: 16-23, Default: 2)
