The second step is to customize the definition by specifying which event
messages generated by the switch are to be sent. This is accomplished
with this command. You can customize the definition so that the switch
sends all of its event messages or limit it to just a selection of events from
particular modules in the AT-S63 management software. An alternative
method to configuring a definition is with “SET LOG OUTPUT” on
page 297.

Note

The default configuration for a new output definition is no event
messages. The switch does not send any events until you customize
the definition with this command or “SET LOG OUTPUT” on
page 297.

The OUTPUT parameter specifies the ID number of the output definition
you want to configure. The range is 2 to 20. The definition must already
exist on the switch. To view the existing definitions and their ID numbers,
refer to “SHOW LOG OUTPUT” on page 305.

The MODULE parameter specifies the modules whose events you want
the switch to send. The AT-S63 management software consists of a
number of modules. Each module is responsible for a different part of
switch operation and generates its own events. The MODULE parameter’s
ALL option sends the events from all the modules. You can also specify
individual modules, which are listed in Table 9 on page 301.

The SEVERITY parameter specifies the severity of the events to be sent.
For example, you might configure the switch to send only error events of
all the modules. Or, you might configure a definition so that the switch
sends only warning events from a couple of the modules, such as the
spanning tree protocol and the MAC address table. For a list of severity
levels, refer to Table 10 on page 303.

Examples

The following command configures output definition 5 to send event
messages from all modules and all severity levels:

add log output=3 module=all severity=all

The following command configures output definition 3 to send only
messages related to enhanced stacking and the MAC address table with
an error severity level:

add log output=3 module=estack,mac severity=e
