AT-S63 Stack Command Line User’s Guide

Section II: Advanced Operations

The second step is to customize the definition by specifying which event
messages are to be sent. This is accomplished with this command. You
can customize the definition so that the stack sends all of its event
messages or just events from particular modules in the AT-S63
Management Software. An alternative method to configuring a definition is
with “SET LOG OUTPUT” on page 251.

Note

The default configuration for a new output definition is no event
messages. The stack does not send any events until you customize
the definition with this command or “SET LOG OUTPUT” on
page 251.

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 stack. To view the existing definitions and their ID numbers,
refer to “SHOW LOG OUTPUT” on page 259.

The MODULE parameter specifies the modules whose events you want
the stack to send. The AT-S63 Management Software consists of a
number of modules. Each module is responsible for a different part of
stack 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 8 on page 255.

The SEVERITY parameter specifies the severity of the events to be sent.
For example, you might configure the stack to send only error events of all
the modules. Or, you might configure a definition so that the stack 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 9 on page 257.

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 the event log and the MAC address table with an
error severity level:

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