Log Type
Logs can be configured in the following contexts:
• Log file — log files can contain log event message streams or accounting/billing
information. Log file IDs are used to direct events, alarms/traps, and debug
information to their respective targets.
• SNMP trap groups — SNMP trap groups contain an IP address and community
names that identify targets to send traps following specified events
• Syslog — information can be sent to a syslog host that is capable of receiving
selected syslog messages from a network element
• Event control — configures a particular event, or all events associated with an
application, to be generated or suppressed
• Event filters — an event filter defines whether to forward or drop an event or trap
based on match criteria
• Accounting policies — an accounting policy defines the accounting records that will
be created. Accounting policies can be applied to one or more service access points
(SAPs).
• Event logs — an event log defines the types of events to be delivered to an associated
destination
• Event throttling rate — defines the rate of throttling events
