  • Brocade switches

Answer

  • Audit events are generated by the switch and streamed to an external host through a configured system message log daemon (syslog).
  • You specify a filter on the output to select the event classes that are sent through the system message log.
  • Fabric OS supports configuring a switch to forward all error log entries to a remote syslog server, to set the syslog facility to a specified log file, to remove a syslog server, and to display the list of configured syslog servers.
  • Alerts/Events include login failures, zone configuration changes, firmware downloads, and other configuration changes. in other words, critical changes that have a serious effect on the operation and security of the switch.
