Log Management Access Events — Enables or disables generating logs when the device is accessed using a management method. For example, each time the device is accessed using SSH, a device log is generated.

Severity — Displays the severity logs. The following are the severity log levels. When a severity level is selected, all severity level choices above the selection are selected automatically.

Emergency — The highest warning level. If the device is down or not functioning properly, an emergency log message is saved to the specified logging location.

Alert — The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved if there is a serious device malfunction, for example, an attempt was made to download a non-existing configuration file.

Critical — The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical device malfunction occurs, for example, two device ports are not functioning, while the rest of the device ports remain functional.

Error — A device error has occurred, for example, a copy operation has failed.

Warning — The lowest level of a device warning. For example, the device is functioning, but a port link is currently down.

Notice — Provides important device information.

Informational — Provides device information. For example, a port is currently up.

Debug — Provides debugging messages.

The Global Log Parameters page also contains check boxes which correspond to a distinct logging system:

Console — The minimum severity level from which logs are sent to the console.

RAM Logs — The minimum severity level from which logs are sent to the Log File kept in RAM (Cache).

Log File — The minimum severity level from which logs are sent to the Log File kept in FLASH memory.
