Post-issue diagnostic/logging

[synaesthesia]

Hi,

 

Does anyone have a recommended solution for checking logs on Aruba switches? One huge annoyance with them throughout all their ranges is that upon reboot (forced or not), any logs prior to that are wiped, making finding the reasons for it extremely difficult, and the post-reboot log saying the equivalent of SIMS's Reason 0 is extremely unhelpful.

I'm guessing a syslog server might be the best way but wanted to get some ideas before I put time into it.

 

Cheers!

Syslog server would be your best bet, take a look at Graylog.
