SET LOG FULLACTION

Syntax

set log fullaction temporary=halt|wrap

Parameter

temporary

Specifies the action of the event log when it reaches

maximum capacity. The possible actions are:

halt

Stops storing new events.

wrap

Deletes the oldest entries when adding
new ones. This is the default.

Description

This command controls the action of the event log when it reaches its
maximum capacity of 4,000 events. You have two options. The first has
the switch delete the oldest entries as it adds new entries to the log. The
second has the switch stop adding new entries, so as to preserve the
existing log contents.

The HALT option instructs the logs to stop storing new entries. If an
event log has already reached maximum capacity, it immediately stops
entering new entries.

The WRAP option instructs the logs to delete the oldest entries as new
entries are added.

Note

A switch whose event log has reached maximum capacity continues
to send events to syslog servers.

Example

The following command configures the event log to stop storing new
events after it has stored its maximum number of entries:

set log fullaction temporary=halt
