Event Logs and the Syslog Client

This chapter describes how to view switch activity by displaying and saving
the contents of the event logs. It also explains how to send events to
syslog servers on your network by creating syslog output definitions.
Sections in the chapter include:

ˆ

“Enabling or Disabling the Event Logs” on page 108

ˆ

“Displaying the Event Messages” on page 110

ˆ

“Clearing an Event Log” on page 116

Note

The event logs, even when disabled, log all of the AT-S63
initialization events that occur when a stack is reset or power cycled.
Any switch events that occur after AT-S63 initialization are entered
into the logs only if the event log feature is enabled, which is the
default setting for this feature.
