Configuring the Event Log

You can customize what events are recorded in the switch event log using the Set Log command. With the Set Log command, you can filter the events to be recorded by component, specific ports, and severity level. You can choose from the following component events:

„E_Port events

„Management server events

„Name server events

„Port events

„Switch management events

„Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) events

„Zoning events

For more information about the CLI commands, refer to the Command Line Interface Guide for your switch.

Archiving and Downloading the Event Log

You can use the CLI to create a file on the switch that contains the most recent 1200 entries. This file can then be downloaded to the workstation using FTP. To create and download a log file, do the following:

1.Log into the switch through Telnet and create an archive of the event log using the Set Log Archive command.

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) #> set log archive

This creates a file on the switch named logfile.

2.Open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images. Transfer the file logfile in binary mode with the Get command.

>ftp ip_address user:images password: images

ftp>bin ftp>get logfile

xxxxxbytes sent in xx secs.

ftp>quit
