Outputting Information to an Information File

Information output to the information file can be saved on the device in the format of files. This allows users to quickly locate the fault occurring on the device based on the information.

Context

The configuration saves the log and trap information generated by the system to a specified path every 30 minutes so that users can view local historical operations to ensure the normal running of the device.

The system can record what happens to a device during the device operation in the format of information files in real time. This allows users to know what happened to the device during the device operation and locate the fault cause based on the information files.

Procedure

Configure the system to automatically output information to an information file.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. (Optional) Run info-center logfile [ security ] size size
  The size of an information file is configured.
  
  If the size of an information file exceeds the configuration, the system automatically compresses the information file into a .zip file.
3. (Optional) Run info-center max-logfile-number [ security ] filenumbers
  The maximum number of compressed files that the system can save is configured.
  
  If the number of compressed files to be saved exceeds the threshold, the system deletes compressed files that are generated earlier to ensure that the number of compressed files to be saved remains less than or equal to the threshold.
4. (Optional) Run info-center channel channel-number name channel-name
  The information channel specified by channel-number is named channel-name.
5. (Optional) Run info-center logfile channel { channel-number | channel-name }
  The channel through which information is output to the information file is configured.
6. Run info-center source { module-name | default } channel { channel-number | channel-name } [ log { state { off | on } | level severity } ^* | trap { state { off | on } | level severity } ^* ]^*
  Rules for outputting information through information channels are configured.
7. Run commit
  The configuration is committed.
Manually output information to the information file.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. (Optional) Run info-center logfile size [ security ] size size
  The size of an information file is configured. If the size of an information file exceeds the configuration, the system automatically compresses the information file into a .zip file.
3. (Optional) Run info-center max-logfile-number [ security ] filenumbers
