Configuring and Viewing Crash Logs
In the unlikely even of a software crash, the system stores information that could be useful in determining the reason for the crash. This information can be maintained in system memory or it can be transferred and stored on a network server.
The system supports the generation of the following two types of logs:
Crash log: Crash logs record all possible information pertaining to a software crash (full core dump). Due to their size, they can not be stored in system memory. Therefore, these logs are only generated if the system is configured with a Universal Resource Locator (URL) pointing to a local device or a network server where the log can be stored.
Abridged crash log: Crash event records are automatically generated when a software crash occurs and are stored in flash memory on management cards. The abridged crash log contains a list crash event records along with associated dump files. This log allows you to view event records and dump files via CLI commands.
