System Monitoring Overview
What System Information Is Monitored?
The CLI and web-based interfaces provide information about physical

information about system events, such as management login history. The
switch also reports system resource usage.

following:
• System events — System state changes and errors that range in severity
from Emergency to Debug

to perform any operations with files on the flash drive
• CLI commands — Commands executed from the CLI
