The Event Log 14
What is the Event Log? 14.1
Many Westermo products automatically maintain a log of certain types of event in a pseudo file
called EVENTLOG.TXT. The contents of the log can be viewed via the Status > Event Log web page
or using by using the type command. In either case, the most recent event appears at the top of the
log with successively older log entries appearing further down.
The example below shows a small section of a log:
16:30:09, 02 Jun 2000,PPP 0 Up
16:30:09, 02 Jun 2000,PPP 0 Start IPCP
16:30:09, 02 Jun 2000,PPP Login OK By Paul Lvl 3
16:30:09, 02 Jun 2000,PPP 0 Start PAP
16:30:09, 02 Jun 2000,PPP 0 Start LCP
16:29:51, 02 Jun 2000,Power Up
The EVENTLOG.TXT pseudo-file acts as a circular buffer so that when the space available for the
log is full, new entries are written at the start of the buffer overwriting the oldest entries.
Each entry in the log normally consists of a single line containing the date, time and a brief descrip-
tion of the event. In some cases it may also identify:
the type/number of the protocol instance that generated the message (e.g. PPP 0) •
a reason code •
additional information such as an X.25 address or ISDN telephone number •
The specific events that generate a log entry are pre-defined and cannot be altered. These are listed
in the table below along with the name of the firmware module that generates the event message
and any additional information that may be included in the log.
