Buffered Log

The log messages the device generates in response to events, faults, errors, and configuration changes are stored locally on the device in the RAM (cache). This collection of log files is called the RAM log or buffered log. When the buffered log file reaches the configured maximum size, the oldest message is deleted from the RAM when a new message is added. If the system restarts, all messages are cleared.

To access the Buffered Log page, click System > Logs > Buffered Log in the navigation menu.
