Chapter 17: Event Log and Syslog Server Commands

SET LOG FULLACTION

Syntax

set log fullaction temporary=haltwrap

Parameter

 

 

temporary

Specifies the action of the event log when it reaches

 

maximum capacity. The possible actions are:

 

halt

Stops storing new events.

 

wrap

Deletes the oldest entries when adding

 

 

new ones. This is the default.

Description

This command controls the action of the event log when it reaches its maximum capacity of 4,000 events. You have two options. The first has the switch delete the oldest entries as it adds new entries to the log. The second has the switch stop adding new entries, so as to preserve the existing log contents.

The HALT option instructs the logs to stop storing new entries. If an event log has already reached maximum capacity, it immediately stops entering new entries.

The WRAP option instructs the logs to delete the oldest entries as new entries are added.

Note

A switch whose event log has reached maximum capacity continues to send events to syslog servers.

Example

The following command configures the event log to stop storing new events after it has stored its maximum number of entries:

set log fullaction temporary=halt
