DESCRIPTION

Add Server

Click this to configure a new syslog server.

 

 

Logging Target

Click the RAM or Flash links to view the logs stored on the switch.

 

Use the columns on the right to select the types of system events each logging

 

target should record. Select:

 

• 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.

 

For RAM and Flash logs you can also hit Clear to delete all log entries.

 

For each Server log you configured you can hit Delete to remove this syslog server

 

from logging system events for the switch.
