| | Chapter 5. Event Logging | |
Some aspects of the operation of the overall system have associated events and messages that can be
logged. Logging of these events is enabled underneath the top-level system object, using
the logs object. The most significant log attributes are shown in Table 5.2 below
:-
Table 5.2. System-Event Logging attributes
system object attribute | Event types |
log-event | General system events. |
log-debug | System debug messages. |
log-error | System error messages. |
log-eth | General Ethernet hardware messages. |
log-eth-debug | Ethernet hardware debug messages. |
log-eth-error | Ethernet hardware error messages. |
log-support | System support events (e.g. panic stack traces). |
log-stats | "One second stats" messages |
Specifying system event logging attributes is usually only necessary when diagnosing problems with the FB9000, and will typically
be done under guidance from support staff. For example, log-stats causes a log message to be generated every second containing some key system
statistics and state information, which are useful for debugging.
Note that there are some system events, such as startup and shutdown, which are always logged to all log targets, and to the console and flash by default, regardless of these logging attributes.
