Saving system information to the log file
Perform this task to enable saving system information to the log file at specific interval, or manually save
system information to the log file.
System information is saved into the log file buffer. The system writes the information from the log file
buffer to the log file at the specified interval. You can also manually save the information while the device
is not busy. After saving information from the log file buffer to the log file, the system clears the log file
buffer.
