Log records are generated for:

•Accounting messages

•AAA audit and diagnostics messages

•System diagnostics messages

•Administrative and operational audit messages

The messages are arranged in tree hierarchy structure within the logging categories (see Configuring Logging Categories, page 18-24for more information).

You can store log messages locally or remotely, based on the logging categories and maintenance parameters.

The Remote Log Targets page appears.

Step 2 Do one of the following:

•Click Create.

•Check the check box next to the remote log target that you want to duplicate and click Duplicate.

•Click the name of the remote log target that you want to modify; or check the check box next to the name of the remote log target that you want to modify and click Edit.
