METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LOGGING TRACE EVENTS OF A NETWORK DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for logging trace events of a network device in a network, the method comprising:
- generating, by the network device, a plurality of log events based on a source level;
storing the plurality of log events to a log buffer of the network device;
monitoring the log buffer for a trigger event, wherein the trigger event is a condition in the network;
determining whether the trigger event is detected;
determining one or more log events of the plurality of log events in an ex-ante window of the log buffer upon detecting the trigger event;
providing a log event of the one or more log events to a system log; and
determining whether the one or more log events of the plurality of log events in the ex-ante window satisfy a log level upon determining the trigger event is not detected, wherein a severity of the source level is lower than a severity of the log level.

Abstract
A method for logging trace events of a network device in a network is described herein. A plurality of log events may be generated based on a source level. The plurality of log events is stored to a log buffer of the network device. The log buffer is monitored for a trigger event, which is a condition in the network. It is determined whether the trigger event is detected. Upon detecting the trigger event, one or more log events of the plurality of log events in an ex-ante window of the log buffer are determined. A log event of the one or more log events is provided to a system log. Upon determining the trigger event is not detected, it is determined whether the one or more log events of the plurality of log events in the ex-ante window satisfy a log level. A severity of the source level is lower than a severity of the log level.

10. A system for logging trace events of a network device in a network, the system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store an electronic document; wherein the processor is configured to; generate a plurality of log events based on a source level; store the plurality of log events to a log buffer of the network device; monitor the log buffer for a trigger event, wherein the trigger event is a condition in the network; determine whether the trigger event is detected; determine one or more log events of the plurality of log events in an ex-ante window of the log buffer upon detecting the trigger event; provide a log event of the one or more log events to a system log; and determine whether the one or more log events of the plurality of log events in the ex-ante window satisfy a log level upon determining the trigger event is not detected, wherein a severity of the source level is lower than a severity of the log level. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions for controlling a data processor for logging trace events of a network device in a network, the plurality of instructions comprising:
-
instructions that cause the data processor to generate a plurality of log events based on a source level; instructions that cause the data processor to store the plurality of log events to a log buffer of the network device; instructions that cause the data processor to monitor the log buffer for a trigger event, wherein the trigger event is a condition in the network; instructions that cause the data processor to determine whether the trigger event is detected; instructions that cause the data processor to determine one or more log events of the plurality of log events in an ex-ante window of the log buffer upon detecting the trigger event; instructions that cause the data processor to provide a log event of the one or more log events to a system log; and instructions that cause the data processor to determine whether the one or more log events of the plurality of log events in the ex-ante window satisfy a log level upon determining the trigger event is not detected, wherein a severity of the source level is lower than a severity of the log level. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
