ems-autosupport-log

The Event Management System (EMS) is a mechanism in the Data ONTAP kernel that supports creation, forwarding, and consumption of event indications. Ems events are generated by ONTAP when errors occur or to log status. These event indications are logged to /etc/log/ems and, depending on the event and its severity, to the syslog/console. If an event has a SNMP definition, SNMP traps will also be generated by the event indication.
