Using the Event Subsystem

Overview

The Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice switches have two activity logs:

• Event Log - stores a large table of events. You can set the size of the table. Because these events are stored in switch memory, the list is cleared each time the switch reboots.
• Shutdown Log - stores the same information as the event Log, but generally in a smaller table because the table is stored in the switch's nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). This log list is particularly useful in assessing the cause of a switch failure because the information is retained even after the switch restarts.

This sections contains procedures for the following tasks:

• Configuring Event Notification
• Configuring Notification of Protocol Events
• Setting Log Size
• Viewing the Event and Shutdown Logs
• Clearing the Event Log
• Viewing Event Statistics
