Configure and View the System Logs
The smart switch generates messages in response to events such as faults, errors, and
configuration changes. These system log messages are stored locally in the memory log and,
as an option, in the flash log. The smart switch can also forward these messages to one or
more syslog servers for monitoring purposes or long-term archival storage. For messages
that are stored in the flash log or forwarded to a syslog server, you can filter the messages
based on severity. The trap log displays all messages that an SNMP management station
can receive.
To retain the messages after the smart switch has restarted, you have the following options:
•
Store the messages in flash memory (see
Configure, View, and Clear the Flash Log
on
page
261).
•
Send the messages to a syslog server (see
Configure Syslog Servers and Enable the
Server Log
on page
263).
•
Save the messages to a local file (see
Save the Firmware, Running Configuration File,
and Logs
on page
279).
