The AXIS shelf controller (A SC) maintains a set of log files , which contain the messages logged by the
ASC and the individual se rvice modules. The logs are stored on the ASC hard disk. There are five logs,
each log contains the events for on e d ay. The lo g s ar e ro ta ted d ai ly, theref ore there should always be
events for five days. Each log file contains in for mat ion about configuration changes an d er ro rs th at
occurred in the shelf on a partic ular day. The commands used by the use r to ch an g e t he co nfi gur ati o n
are also logged in these log file s.
Note Each file has a maximum size of 1.4 MB . When a day ’s log exceeds 1.4 MB, the las t entry in the log
is overwritten each time a new messag e is logged. This process is repeat ed until a new file is created
the next day.
The log file can be displayed only from th e co m ma nd-line interface (CLI). The CLI com m an d u sed to
display the log is dsplog.
dsplog (slot#) | (slot# day offset)

Examples: dsplog 7 1 would display the events for slot 7 that occurred yesterday.
dsplog 12 3 would display the events for slot 12, 3 days ago.
dsplog 5 would display the events for slot 5 today.
dsplog displays all the logs starting from the most current and
proceeding backwards.
