Uploading and Viewing the Event Log 
The event log can be uploaded from the DSAN to a TFTP server at any time. We 
recommend uploading the file before it reaches capacity to avoid losing the oldest 
events in the log as new events are added. 
Transfer of the event log file is initiated using SNMP via the saDsanEventLog MIB 
group. For additional information on specific MIB element descriptions, refer to 
SNMP Management (on page 127). 
 
To Upload the Event Log File 
Complete the following steps in SNMP to initiate the event log file upload. 
1  Set saDsanEventLogIpAddress to the IP address of the TFTP server. 
2  Set saDsanEventLogPath to the path of the destination file on the TFTP server. 
3  Set saDsanEventLogFilename to the destination file name on the TFTP server. 
4  Set saDsanEventLogUpload to trigger (2). 
In response to these commands, the DSAN will transfer the event log file.   
To monitor the status of the event log upload, get the 
saDsanEventLogLastUploadStatus object. 
Reviewing the Event Log File 
The event log file is a comma-delimited text file that is readily viewable by text 
editors or spreadsheet applications. 
The following shows a sample portion of the event log file as downloaded from the 
DSAN to a TFTP server.
