Using the Event Subsystem
Overview
The Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice switches have two activity logs:
■Event Log - stores a large table of events. You can set the size of the
table. Because these events are sto re d in switch memory, the list is
cleared each time the switch reboots.
■Shutdown Log - stores the same information as the event Log, but
generally in a smaller table becau s e the table is stored in the
switch’s nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). This log list is particularly
useful in assessing the cause of a switch failure because the
information is retained even after the switch restarts.
