Configuring an event log

A log file policy contains information used to direct events, alarms, traps, and debug information to a file on a local storage device (for example, cf2:). One or more event sources can be specified. File policies, SNMP trap groups, or syslog policies must be configured before they can be applied to an event log.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a log file:

config>log 
     log-id log-id
  description description-string
  filter filter-id
  from {[main] [security] [change] [debug-trace]}
  to console
  to file file-id 
  to memory [size] 
  to session
  to snmp [size]
  to syslog syslog-id} 
  time-format {local | utc}
  no shutdown

The following displays a log file configuration example:

ALA-12>config>log>log-id# info
----------------------------------------------
...
log-id name "2"
    description "This is a test log file."
    filter 1
    from main security
    to file 1
exit
...
----------------------------------------------
ALA-12>config>log>log-id#
