5.4. Factory reset configuration log targets

A factory reset configuration has a log target named default, which only logs to RAM. Provided this log target has not been deleted, you can therefore simply set log="default" on any appropriate object to immediately enable logging to this 'default' log target, which can then be viewed from the web User Interface or via the CLI.

A factory reset configuration also has a log target named fb-support which is referenced by the log-support attribute of the system object (see Section 5.7). This allows the FireBrick to automatically email the support team if there is a panic (crash) - you can, of course, change or delete this if you prefer. There may be other cases where log entries are made to this log target to advise the FireBrick support team of unusual events.

Caution

Please do not use the fb-support log target for any other logging. This is normally only used for crash/error reporting back to FireBrick.
