Log files

Specify a specific module whose log file types can be shown. Once the command is entered, an interactive menu will allow you to view the applicable logs.

all (default) includes all modules.

app includes the entire appliance.

Example:

(view)# show log typelist
--module all

Output:

app log type: audit, system
Email log type: email

WEB log type: web
app log type: audit, system
NETWORK-AGENT log type: network-agent
PROXY log type: proxy

Display the last n lines of the appliance log file.

Line: The number of lines to display.

Type: The log file. Use "show log typelist" to get a list of logs.

Module: The module that hosts the file. If the --module parameter is used with the "app" option, the options for the --type parameter are "audit" and "system". If other --module options are used, the --type parameter options are "module".

Example:

(view)# show log lastline
--line 30 --type system --module app

Display data as it is appended to the appliance log file.

Filter: Literal string to match.

Type: The log file. Use "show log typelist" to get a list of logs.

Example:

(view)# show log realtime
--module email --filter license --timeout 40 --type module

Configure how and when log files are archived.

The type parameter is required and either the freq or the size parameter is also required.

Type: The type of archive.

Freq: Specifies a frequency interval.

Size: (optional) The default unit of measurement is bytes. To instead use kilobytes or megabytes, append "k" or "m" to the size. For example:

(config)# set log archive --size 50m

When a log file reaches the specified maximum size (between 10 MB and 200 MB), or at the specified frequency interval, the file is archived and a new log file is started.

Example:

(config)# set log archive --type system
--size 50m --freq weekly

Display log file archiving settings.

show log archive
--type <system|audit|email|network-agent|web>

Determine whether log files are being archived, and if so, what criteria are used to determine when older log data is archived and a new log file is started.

Example:

(view)# show log archive --type system

Zip the log file and move it to a remote filestore.

If the --module parameter is used with the "app" option, the options for the --type parameter are "audit" and "system". If other
--module options are used, the --type parameter options are "module".

The filestore alias of a remote storage location is defined by the "set filestore" command.

Example:

(config)# save log --module all --type all --location samba5
