Showing and clearing events

Event logging logs events generated by daemons, processes, and plug-ins running within the switch software. The event logging framework captures the event logs in a system journal by updating the journal fields and meta data.

The various event commands are listed in the following table:

Task Command or procedure
Clearing events clear events
Showing events show events

The time stamp for event log messages generated from the Service OS indicates when the event log messages were transferred to the event log after a switch boot and not when the issue occurred.
