Event Log

Important events like a login failure or a firmware update are logged to a selection
of logging destinations (see Figure 6-33). Each event belongs to an event group,
which can be activated separately. The common way to log events is to use the
internal log list of the RIPM. To show the log list, click on "Event Log" on the
Maintenance page. In Event Log Settings, you can choose how many log entries
are shown on each page. You can also clear the log file.
1. Event Log Targets
To log events, you may use the internal log list of the RIPM. To show the
log list, click on "Event Log" on the "Maintenance" page. Since the RIPM's
system memory is used to save all the information, the maximum number of
log-list entries is restricted to 1,000 events. Every entry that exceeds this limit
overrides the oldest one.
Warning: If the reset button on the HTML front-end is used to restart the
RIPM, all logging information will be saved permanently and will be available
after the RIPM has been started. If the RIPM loses power or a hard reset
is performed, all logging data will be lost. To avoid this, use one of the log
methods described below.
1a. Network File System (NFS) Logging Enabled

Define a NFS server to which directories and static links must be exported;
all logging data will then be written to a file in that location. To write logging
data from multiple RIPM devices to only one NFS share, you must define
a file name that is unique for each device. When you change the NFS
settings and press the "Apply" button, the NFS share will be mounted
immediately. That means the NFS share and the NFS server must be filled
with valid sources or you will get an
error message.
Note: In contrast to the internal log file on the RIPM, the size of the NFS
log file is not limited. Every log event will be appended to the end of the
file so that it grows continuously. You may need to delete it or move away
events logged within the file from time to time.
