The following procedures explain how to view the events in the event log
as well as how to enable and disable the log. Procedures include:
ˆ “Enabling or Disabling the Event Log” on page 217
ˆ “Displaying the Event Log” on page 218

Enabling or
Disabling the
Event Log
This procedure explains how to enable or disable the event log on the
switch. If you disable the log, the AT-S62 management software will not
store events in its log and will not send events to any syslog servers you
may have defined. The default setting for the event log is enabled.
The event log, even when disabled, will log all AT-S62 initialization events
that occur whenever the switch is reset or power cycled. Any switch events
that occur after AT-S62 initialization are entered into the log only if it is
activated.
Note
Allied Telesyn recommends setting the switch’s date and time if you
activate the event log so that the messages will have the correct
date and time when stored in the event log and sent to a syslog
server. For instructions, refer to “Setting the System Time” on
page 61.
To enable or disable the event log on a switch, do the following:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 8 to select Event Log.
