Configuring a file ID

To create a log file, a file ID is defined, the target CF or USB drive is specified, and the rollover retention interval period for the log file is defined. The rollover interval is defined in minutes and determines how long a file will be used before it is closed and a new log file is created. The retention interval determines how long the file will be stored on the storage device before it is deleted.

Use the following syntax to configure a log file.

config>log 
        file-id log-file-id
            description description-string
            location cflash-id 
            rollover minutes [retention hours]

For the 7210 SAS-T:

config>log 
        file-id log-file-id
            description description-string
            location cflash|usb-flash-id [backup-cflash-id]
            rollover minutes [retention hours]

Example: Log file configuration output

A:ALA-12>config>log# info
------------------------------------------
        file-id 1
            description "This is a log file."
            location cf1:
            rollover 600 retention 24
        exit
----------------------------------------------
