SL-APM logging
Overview of logging
Logging enables you to see the following information in SL-APM:
• Actions taken
• Events
• Time when the action was taken or event occurred
SL-APM has the following types of logs:
• Event logs, where SL-APM records events
• Fault logs, where SL-APM records internal errors. These internal errors create alerts in which the red LED
illuminates. For a list of alert messages, see "Alert messages (on page
72 )."
You can issue commands for both internal and external logging.
Use an external syslog server for:
• Redundant copy of events and logs
• Not limiting the events list to only the last 500 events
To ensure the correct time stamping in your logs, use the SET TIME command. For more information, see
"Setting the time (on page 59 )."
Internal logging
Internal logging tracks up to 500 entries on the event log, up to 100 entries on the fault log, and overrides
the oldest log entries if those sizes are exceeded.
Showing and clearing the event log
To show the event log, enter SHOW LOG..
As an example, the following text might appear on screen:
SL-APM> show log
NOTE: Log truncated, only latest 100 entries included in list
