The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 35	Logging - RAM/Flash
LABEL		DESCRIPTION
Search		Click this to search for specific log entries.
Export		Click this to export (save) the log. The logs default name is “events.csv”. A .csv
		(Comma Separated Values) file can be viewed by most spreadsheet software such
		as Microsoft’s Excel.
No.		This is the number of the log entry. The log entries with the lowest numerical value
		are the most recent.
Index		This field indicates the index number of the log. This number doesn’t change even if
		some logs are deleted from the switch due to memory limits. The index number
		increments by one for each recorded event. The largest number represents the most
		recent log event.
Level		This field displays the severity level of the log event. The possible severity levels are:
		• Error - to record system failures, such as events which will cause the switch to
		malfunction and events such as invalid user input in the web configurator.
		• Warning - to record non critical errors on the switch. The switch will continue to
		function when warnings are recorded.
		• Info - to record regular system events, such as configuration changes or logins.
		• Debug - to record events which can be helpful for engineering debugging of the
		switch’s function. This field is not recommended to track as it creates many
		messages not helpful to typical users.
Category		This field displays what category the log entry fits. The categories are based on
		software and hardware features of the switch. For example the category AUTODOS
		records events which deal with the Auto Denial of Service features you set up and
		the category SYSTEM records events which deal with the overall operation of the
		switch.
Time		This field specifies the time when the switch recorded the log event. The switch
		resets its internal clock when it is restarted.
Message		This field displays an explanation for the log entry.
Goto page		Click Next, Previous or click on a page number to browse through the log pages.
