Manage the Buffered Logs
The buffered log stores messages in RAM memory based on the settings for message
component and severity. You can set the administrative status and behavior of logs in the
system buffer. These log messages are cleared when the switch reboots.
To manage and view the buffered logs:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 14.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Monitoring > Logs > Buffered Logs.
The Buffered Logs Configuration page displays. The page also shows the Buffered Logs
section.
6. Select one of the following Admin Status radio buttons:
• Enable. Enable system logging.
• Disable. Prevent the system from logging messages.
The only selection from the Behavior menu is Wrap, which means that when the buffer is
full, the oldest log messages are deleted as the system logs new messages.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
The Total Number of Messages field displays the number of messages the system logged
in memory. The 128 most recent entries are displayed on the page.
The Buffered Logs table displays the log messages. Messages logged to a collector or
relayed through the syslog are provided in the following format:
