clear log entries S-seriers

Chrilau — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 14:35:25 GMT

Hi all, I’m looking for commands to clear logging buffer entries and port counters in S-series switch.

Thanks for help!

Hi there, I ran this past our EOS support team but it doesn’t look like there is a command that does this. A reboot would likely do the trick, but that was all I could find. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful here.

@Sam Pirok I think that you can clear port counters on the S-Series using the command

clear rmon stats counters

This is only possible for S-Series (and maybe N-Series) but no other EOS-based devices afaik.

I can try to test this tomorrow. 🙂

Best regards
Stefan

@Stefan K. happy to be corrected! I’ve asked my EOS team to lab this out too to confirm, we’ll see who can get the lab done faster 😃

Hey guys, we tested that command out but it looks like it just clears L1 errors. Did you find anything different Stefan?

Hi @Sam Pirok

you are right. “clear rmon stats counters <port>” only clear the information you get from “show rmon stats” but not for “show port counters”.

Depending on what @Chrilau is looking fro this might still help him.

Hi guys,

@Stefan K. surely this can help, I didn’t know the command “show rmon stats” and “Clear...” before, so I’ll use it. Meanwhile I would find really usefull a command to “clear logging buffer” ...that is possible on X440 switch (show log/ clear log) for example but not on S

Unfortunately they won’t implement new features for S-Series… May I ask why you want to clear the log? When the log is full, no new log messages are discarded, only old ones.
