View and manage the event log
The
Management > Event Log
page displays the current contents of the event log on the router.
The event log is stored in a pseudo-file named
eventlog.txt
. It acts as a circular buffer, so when
there is no space available for new entries, the oldest entries are overwritten.
Each entry in the log normally consists of a single line containing the date, time and a brief
description of the event. In some case it may also identify:
• The type/number of the protocol instance the generated the message, such as
PPP 0
.
• A reason code.
• Additional information such as an X.25 address or ISDN telephone number.
The specific events that generate a log entry are pre-defined and cannot be altered although the
text and priority of each event can be modified. This can be done via the
Configuration > Alarms > Event Logcodes
page.
