Modifying the
Event Log Full
Action
This procedure explains how to control the action of the logs when they
reach the maximum capacity of 4,000 events for the temporary log and
2,000 events for the permanent log. A log can either delete the oldest
entries as it adds new entries or stop adding entries, so as to preserve the
existing log contents. You can set the action independently for the two
logs.
The log full action does not apply to syslog servers. The switch continues
to send events to the servers even when the event logs are full.
To modify the action taken when an event log becomes full, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 8 to select Event Log.
The Event Log menu is shown in Figure 63 on page 198.
3. From the Event Log menu, type L to select Configure Log Outputs.
The Configure Log Outputs menu is shown in Figure 67 on page 210.
4. From the Configure Log Outputs menu, type 2 to select Modify Log
Output.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter output ID to modify [0 to 20] ->
5. Type 0 to select the permanent log, or 1 to select the temporary log.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter new log full action (1-Wrap on Full, 2-Halt on
Full) ->
6. Make a selection from the following options:
1 - Wrap on Full
When the event log reaches maximum capacity, oldest entries are
deleted as new entries are added. This is the default.
2- Halt on Full
When the event log reaches maximum capacity, the log stops adding
new entries.
7. To permanently save your change, return to the Main Menu and type S
to select Save Configuration Changes.
