Managing the Event Log
The following porcedures explain how to view the events in the event
log as well as how to enable or disable the log. Procedures include:
❑ Enabling or Disabling the Event Log on page 203
❑ Displaying the Event Log on page 204

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 enabled.
Note
Allied Telesyn recommends setting the switch’s date and time if you
enable the event log. Otherwise, the entries entered in the log and
sent to a syslog server will not have the correct date and time. For
instructions, refer to Setting the System Time on page 65.
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.
