Switch Log Capped at 128 Messages
Our XS748T switch is limiting the buffered logs to 128 messages. This means that is something is spamming the switch causing repeated logs, we only can see a very brief history. We can't see when the...
As per page 327 of the XS748T user manual here, it says that for the Buffered Logs:
"The Total Number of Messages field displays the number of messages the system logged in memory. The 128 most recent entries are displayed on the page."It means that the log messages are NOT capped. It is clear that only the 128 most recent entries are just displayed.
This is by design and NOT a limitation. It would be best that you setup a syslog server.

Our XS748T caps at 128 log events. Other switches like our GS752TPv2 are not nearly as limited. I would just like to know if this is a hard restriction or a configuration.
