Logging archive -- Creation upon failure

[tsiemers1]

I am implementing logging archive on ios-xr with the following config:

logging archive
 device harddisk
 severity emergencies
 file-size 300
 frequency daily
 archive-size 300
 archive-length 1
!

My questions is can you test this on the fly instead of waiting for the daily frequency? Also does this create a file in the event of failure, lets say power or a system critical error? I'm hoping that in the event of a crash it would create the archive for review.

Thanks

Hi

My questions is can you test this on the fly instead of waiting for the daily frequency?

>> This option does not exist, will have to wait for the timer set

Also does this create a file in the event of failure, lets say power or a system critical error?

>> Process crash, no (possible with eem script? to trigger a "show log | file ... " but not by default)

>> Kernel crash, the kernel dump tries to capture some show log, but not always successful

>> power outage, in general we will need to depend on syslog server

Working in TAC, we depend on show log, syslogs for this type of situation.

Thanks
