FLASH Log Configuration
The FLASH log is a log that is stored in persistent storage, which means that the log
messages are retained across a switch reboot.
•
The first log type is the
system startup log
. The system startup log stores the first N
messages received after system reboot. This log always has the log full operation
attribute set to stop on full and can store up to 32 messages.
•
The second log type is the
system operation log
. The system operation log stores the
last N messages received during system operation. This log always has the log full
operation attribute set to overwrite. This log can store up to 1000 messages.
Either the system startup log or the system operation log stores a message received by the
log subsystem that meets the storage criteria, but not both. On system startup, if the startup
log is configured, it stores messages up to its limit. The operation log, if configured, then
begins to store the messages.
Use the FLASH Log Configuration page to enable or disable persistent logging and to set the
severity filter.
