10.3 Log and Trace

There are two logging facilities in the Prestige. The first is the error logs and trace records that are stored locally. The second is the UNIX syslog facility for message logging.

10.3.1 Viewing Error Log

The first place you should look for clues when something goes wrong is the error log. Follow the procedure below to view the local error/trace log:

Step 1. Enter 24 from the main menu to open Menu 24 - System Maintenance.

Step 2. From menu 24, enter 3 to open Menu 24.3 - System Maintenance - Log and Trace.

Step 3. Enter 1 in Menu 24.3 - System Maintenance - Log and Trace to display the error log in the system.

After the Prestige finishes displaying the error log, you will have the option to clear it. Examples of typical error and information messages are presented in the following figure.
