location where they have been saved. The following table lists the file locations of the system logs.
Configure port logging
If a serial port is configured for console server mode, the port logging feature can be enabled. Port
logging allows you to save serial data to the memory of the Digi CM unit, a compact-flash card, a
syslog server, or to an NFS server. If the memory is used for port logging, all data is cleared when the
system’s power is turned off.
You can also define alarm keywords for each serial port and send email alerts or SNMP traps to
enable unattended serial data monitoring. The following steps configure a serial port for port
logging in console server mode.
1 Access the web interface.
2 Under the Serial port heading, click Configuration.
3 Choose All or the Individual port, and then Port logging.
4 Configure the settings:
Logging direction - Specify what to log:
• Server – only server output,
• User – only user output,
• Both with/without arrows – server and user output with/without directional arrows.
• Default: server output.
Security advice: When logging user output passwords will be saved into the log file!
