CLI log access

Hi,

Can you point me to some documentation that will tell me how to access the CLI for my Balance 20 and read the logs realtime?
I’m using firmware 5.4.9 build 1732
Thanks much!
Tom

The CLI can be accessed via SSH. You can enable this feature under: System> Admin Security. The user name and password are the same as for web admin access.

Tom, once you have enabled the CLI SSH option you will be able to issue this command once you have made the SSH connection to your Balance:

> get eventlog 10
Event Log

If you leave off the integer value at the end of the eventlog command then all log entries are shown. Since the entries are shown in ascending chronological order here I’m not sure why they support limiting the output — if it were in reverse order then I’d love it!

There does not seem to be any way to clear the log from the CLI.
