syslog servers on your network by creating syslog output definitions.

 “Enabling or Disabling the Event Logs” on page 106
 “Displaying the Event Messages” on page 108
 “Clearing an Event Log” on page 114
 “Modifying an Event Log’s Full Action” on page 115

Note
The event logs, even when disabled, log all of the AT-S63
initialization events that occur when a stack is reset or power cycled.
Any switch events that occur after AT-S63 initialization are entered
into the logs only if the event log feature is enabled, which is the
default setting for this feature.
