Logging

To access the
Logging
fields:
1. Navigate to

>

>
Logging
.
Logging of certain events can be stored both locally (within the VBrick device) or externally
(for example on a server). Local logs are stored in volatile memory. For preservation of
information, it is recommended that remote logging be utilized. Remote servers generally
offer ample storage and offer the additional benefit of collecting log information from
several VBricks simultaneously. When logging externally, specify either the IP address or
hostname of the actual server using the
Remote Event Log Destination
field. If remote
logging is enabled, the log information is sent via SNMP traps. When you enable logging, be
sure to set the system date and time (See: System Time Settings) or select a network time
server in order to get accurate time stamps in the logs.
