Lantronix SLC 8000 manual USB and SD Card Logging, Email/SNMP Notification, Sylog Logging

8: Device Ports

The directory path must be the local directory for one of the NFS mounts. For each logging file, once the file size reaches the maximum, a new file opens for logging. Once the number of files reaches the maximum, the oldest file is overwritten. The file naming convention is: <Device Port Number>_<Device Port Name>_<File number>.log.

Examples:

02_Port-2_1.log

02_Port-2_2.log

02_Port-2_3.log

02_Port-2_4.log

02_Port-2_5.log

USB and SD Card Logging

Data can be logged to a USB flash drive that is loaded into the USB ports or the SD card slot on the front of the SLC unit and properly mounted. Data logged locally to the SLC advanced console manager is limited to 256 Kbytes and may be lost in the event of a power loss. Data logged to a USB flash drive or SD card does not have these limitations. The system administrator can define the file size and number of files per port. For each logging file, once the file size reaches the maximum, a new file opens for logging. Once the number of files reaches the maximum, the oldest file is overwritten. The file naming convention is:

<Device Port Number>_<Device Port Name>_<File number>.log

Examples:

02_Port-2_1.log

02_Port-2_2.log

02_Port-2_3.log

02_Port-2_4.log

02_Port-2_5.log

Email/SNMP Notification

The system administrator can configure the SLC 8000 advanced console manager to send an email alert message indicating a particular condition detected in the device port log to the appropriate parties or an SNMP trap to the designated NMS (see Chapter 7: Services on page

75). The email or trap is triggered when a user-defined number of characters in the log from your server or device is exceeded, or a specific sequence of characters is received.

Use the Device Ports - SLP / ServerTech CDU Device (on page 112) to set logging parameters on individual ports.

Sylog Logging

Data can be logged to the system log. If this feature is enabled, the data will appear in the Device Ports log, under the Info level. The log level for the Device Ports log must be set to Info for the data to be saved to the system log. (See Chapter 7: Services on page 75.)

To set logging parameters:
