Blue Coat SGOS 4.x Upgrade Guide

Global Enable/Disable Switch
In SGOS 4.x, you can enable or disable access logging on a global basis, both through the Management
Console (
Access Logging>General>Global Settings) and the CLI.
When logging is disabled, that setting overrides both policy and logging configuration. When access
logging is enabled, policy settings override the access logging configuration.
Note: Access-log uploads are not affected by the global enable/disable switch; disabling access
logging does not disable the ability to upload existing log files.
On new systems, by default, access logging is disabled, but certain protocols are configured to use
specific logs. When access logging is enabled, logging begins immediately for all configured
protocols.
If you are upgrading your system, your existing protocol configurations are preserved and access
logging is enabled by default so that logging will continue as previously configured. Protocols new in
SGOS 4.x are set to have a default log of
none in this case.
Note: If you do not have a license for bandwidth management, access log uploads will not be
bandwidth limited, even if they were bandwidth-limited in SGOS 3.x.
Certain protocols now have logs assigned to them by default. The defaults can be changed.
Note: Protocols are not associated with a log by default upon an upgrade. They are only associated
with a default on new SGOS 4.x systems.:
New CLI Commands
SGOS#(config access-log) enable
SGOS#(config access-log) disable
