Abstract

A method and system are provided for generating a console log of a device (e.g., a router). During the powering on of the device, certain information may have to be written to the console log. If the information to be written is critical, the console log is generated. In case the information is non-critical, the system checks whether a console device is connected to the device. If a console device is connected to the device, the information is written to the console log. Otherwise, if there is no console device connected to the device, the information is not written to the console log.
