Log Files
Yealink IP phone can log events into two different log files: boot log and system log. You can choose to generate the
log files locally or sent to syslog server in real time, and use these log files to generate informational, analytic and
troubleshoot phones.
The following table lists the log files generated by the phone:
Local Syslog Server Description

boot.log <MAC>-boot.log
It can only log the last reboot events. It is required to report the logs with all
severity levels.
sys.log <MAC>-sys.log

For example, if you have set the severity level to 4, then the logs with a severity
level of 0 to 4 will all be reported.
