SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 120
The directory path must be the local directory for one of the NFS mounts. For each logging file,
once the file size reaches the maximum, a new file opens for logging. Once the number of files
reaches the maximum, the oldest file is overwritten. The file naming convention is: <Device Port
Number>_<Device Port Name>_<File number>.log.
Examples:
02_Port-2_1.log
02_Port-2_2.log
02_Port-2_3.log
02_Port-2_4.log
02_Port-2_5.log
USB and SD Card Logging
Data can be logged to a USB flash drive that is loaded into the USB ports or the SD card slot on
the front of the SLC unit and properly mounted. Data logged locally to the SLC advanced console
manager is limited to 256 Kbytes and may be lost in the event of a power loss. Data logged to a
USB flash drive or SD card does not have these limitations. The system administrator can define
the file size and number of files per port. For each logging file, once the file size reaches the
maximum, a new file opens for logging. Once the number of files reaches the maximum, the oldest
file is overwritten. The file naming convention is:
<Device Port Number>_<Device Port Name>_<File number>.log
Examples:
02_Port-2_1.log
02_Port-2_2.log
02_Port-2_3.log
02_Port-2_4.log
02_Port-2_5.log
Email/SNMP Notification
The system administrator can configure the SLC 8000 advanced console manager to send an
email alert message indicating a particular condition detected in the device port log to the
appropriate parties or an SNMP trap to the designated NMS (see Chapter 7: Services on page
75). The email or trap is triggered when a user-defined number of characters in the log from your
server or device is exceeded, or a specific sequence of characters is received.
Use the Device Ports - SLP / ServerTech CDU Device (on page 112) to set logging parameters on
individual ports.
Sylog Logging
Data can be logged to the system log. If this feature is enabled, the data will appear in the Device
Ports log, under the Info level. The log level for the Device Ports log must be set to Info for the data
to be saved to the system log. (See Chapter 7: Services on page 75.)
To set logging parameters:
1. In the top section of the Device Port Settings page, click the Settings link in the Logging field.
