Modifying the
Event Log Full
Action
This procedure explains how to control what the logs are to do when they
reach the maximum capacity of 4,000 events for the temporary log and
2,000 events for the permanent log. There are two options. The first is to
have the switch delete the oldest entries in a log as it adds new entries.
The second is to have the switch stop adding entries, so as to preserve
the existing log contents. You can set the action independently for the two
logs.
This procedure applies only to the event logs. If you defined 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.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 54.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 8 to select Event Log.
The Event Log menu is shown in Figure 76 on page 261.
3. From the Event Log menu, type L to select Configure Log Outputs.
The Configure Log Outputs menu is shown in Figure 80 on page 273.
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 its maximum capacity, old entries are
deleted when new entries are added. This is the default.
2- Halt on Full
When the event log reaches its maximum capacity, the log stops
adding new entries.
7. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
