Event logging

The Event Logging feature of the ServerIron ADX captures all of the activity on the MP and BP

consoles and saves it in a file named "eventlog.txt" which is saved on the internal USB drive. This

log captures all of the following information along with a timestamp:

• Syslog messages when they are logged

• All MP console messages (boot and application)

• All BP console messages on each Core (boot and application)

• All CLI commands typed by users at the MP and BP consoles

• All commands typed at the OS prompt

Disabling and enabling event logging

The event logging feature is enabled by default. You can disable event logging as shown in the

following.

ServerIronADX(config)# eventlog disable

Syntax: eventlog disable

NOTE

This command is not saved across reloads by default. To have it take effect after a reload use the

write mem command to save the eventlog disable command to the startup configuration file.

Once you have disabled event logging you can re-enable it as shown in the following.

ServerIronADX(config)# eventlog enable

Syntax: eventlog enable

NOTE

The event log enable command is only used where you want to enable the event logging feature that

was previously disabled.

Changing the default maximum size of the event log

The default maximum size of the event log file is 32 MB. This value can be changed as shown in the

following.

ServerIronADX(config)# eventlog size 64

Syntax: eventlog size <eventlog-file-size>

The <eventlog-file-size> is the size in MB that you want to change the default maximum size of the

event log file to. It can be set to any value between 32 and 256.
