Event log
The VPN Concentrator records events in an event log, which is stored in nonvolatile memory. Thus the
event log persists even if the system is powered off. For troubleshooting any system difficulty, or just to
examine details of system activity, consult the event log first.
The Model 3015–3080 event log holds 2048 events, the Model 3005 holds 256 events. The log wraps
when it is full; that is, newer events overwrite older events when the log is full.
For the event log, you can configure:
• Which event classes and severity levels to log.
• Whether to save the event log to a file in flash memory when it is full (when it wraps). And if so:
– The format of the information in the saved log file.
– Whether to automatically send a copy of the saved log file via FTP to a remote system.
Event log data
Each entry (record) in the event log consists of several fields including:
• A sequence number.
• Date and time.
• Event severity level.
• Event class and number.
• Event repetition count.
• Event IP address (only for certain events).
• Description string.
For more information, see the Monitoring | Event Log screen.
Configuration | System | Events
This section of the Manager lets you configure how the VPN Concentrator handles events. Events
provide information for system monitoring, auditing, management, accounting, and troubleshooting.
