RAM Memory Log Status on Sx500 Series Stackable Switches

The RAM memory page displays all messages that were saved in the RAM (cache) in chronological order. RAM memory logs are retained only until the system reboots. Logs are the set of system events stored in the device. The RAM memory logs each and every event that happens in the device, such as basic log ins. Logs are helpful to troubleshoot the device in case any of the configurations fail. This document explains how to view the RAM memory log status on Sx500 Series Stackable Switches.
