Modifying a File ID

Note:

When the file-id location parameter is modified, log files are not written to the new location until a rollover occurs or the log is manually cleared. A rollover can be forced by using the clear>log command. Subsequent log entries are then written to the new location. If a rollover does not occur or the log is not cleared, the old location remains in effect.

Use the following CLI syntax to modify a file ID:

CLI Syntax:

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

The following displays the current file ID configuration:

ALU-12>config>log# info
------------------------------------------
        file-id 1
            description "This is a log file."
            location cf3:
            rollover 600 retention 24
        exit
----------------------------------------------
ALU-12>config>log#

The following displays an example of modifying file ID parameters:

Example:

config# log
	config>log# file-id 1
config>log>file-id# description "LocationTest."
config>log>file-id# location cf3:
config>log>file-id# rollover 2880 retention 500
config>log>file-id# exit

The following displays the file ID modifications:

ALU-12>config>log# info
----------------------------------------------
...
   file-id 1
            description "LocationTest."
            location cf3:
            rollover 2880 retention 500
        exit
...
