Hello Fouad,

Could you please run the command :

show module 9 logging onboard

Did you enable onboard logging recently on slot 9 or on the device itself. I also would like to know how much space is available on the disk on slot 9.  Please capture the below outputs in a file:

show version | in image
show mod 9
remote command mod 9 show log
remote command mod 9 show process cpu sort | ex 0.0
show file system

Regards

I would also like to add some more information on OBFL:

The onboard failure logging (OBFL) feature gathers boot, environmental, and critical hardware failure data for field-replaceable units (FRUs), and stores the information in the nonvolatile memory of the FRU. This information is used for troubleshooting, testing, and diagnosis if a failure or other error occurs. Because OBFL is on by default, data is collected and stored as soon as the card is installed. If a problem occurs, the data can provide information about historical environmental conditions, uptime, downtime, errors, and other operating conditions.

Hope this helps

Hi Vinit,

here is the output:

#show logging onboard module 9

This device does not support OBFL
