Event Log

The VPN 3002 records events in an event log, which is stored in nonvolatile memory. Thus the event log persists even if the system is powered off. For troubleshooting any system difficulty, or just to examine details of system activity, consult the event log first.

The VPN 3002 holds 256 events. The log wraps when it is full; that is, newer events overwrite older events when the log is full.

For the event log, you can configure which event classes and severity levels to log.

Note The VPN 3002 automatically saves the log file if it crashes, and when it is rebooted. This log file is named SAVELOG.TXT, and it overwrites any existing file with that name. The SAVELOG.TXT file is useful for debugging.

Event Log Data

Each entry (record) in the event log consists of several fields including:

•A sequence number.

•Date and time.

•Event severity level.

•Event class and number.

•Event repetition count.

•Event IP address (only for certain events).

•Description string.

For more information, see the Monitoring Filterable Event Log screen.
