Enabling Logging
As shown in Figure 13-45, logging is enabled by default, and the Wireless Edge
Services xl Module logs events to:
■ Its buffer—The module saves events that have collected in the buffer to
its local log as they occur. Viewing this log is described in “Viewing Events
in the Local Log File” on page 13-65. You can disable this feature by
unchecking the Enable logging to Buffer box.
By default, the module logs all events of severity level 3 or lower (more
severe)—that is, all events from severity level 0 through level 3. You can
raise or lower this level according to the needs of your network by
selecting a level in the Enable logging to Buffer drop-down menu. Keep in
mind that the higher the level, the more events through which you will
have to search.
■ The console—If you are managing your module through the console port,
events will appear on the command line as they occur. You can disable
this feature by unchecking the Enable logging to Console box. By default,
events of severity level 3 or lower (more severe) are listed; you can raise
or lower this setting.
