Output flows logs to
information center
Set to output flow logs to the information center in the format of system information.
IMPORTANT:
• With this function enabled, flow logs will not be output to the specified userlog
log host.
• Outputting flow logs to the information center occupies the storage space of the
device. Therefore, HP recommends that you output flow logs to the information
center in case that there are a small amount of flow logs.
Displaying flow logging statistics
If you set to send flow logs in UDP packets to the specified userlog log host, you can view the related
statistics, including the total number of flow logs sent to the log host, the total number of UDP packets and
the total number of flow logs stored on the device cache.
If you click the Statistics expansion button on the Flow Log page, you can view the information as shown
in Figure 24. Y
ou can clear all the flow logging statistics of the device and the flow logs in the cache by
clicking Reset.
