I am looking for a way to capture the CS1000 Event Logs offline, so we have them for historical reference, as well as if/when a major event occurs the buffer / log size does not loose what was in there before all the new major event error filled it up. We have 6 CS1000's and do not go into each of them on a daily basis, so we don't review the Event Log on a regular basis. I have been copy and paste the Event logs using System Manager > Events vs. how I used to do it via Procomm Capture fr LD 117 > prt sel 2000 or LS 22 prt ahst. Would like to be able to save the history on a daily basis to a network file share drive, or into CallPilot server or FTP from System Manager. Is this possible?
 
If you are familiar with Rlogin and have IP access to the switches, you could open a session on each one with the proper rlogin name for MTC, and maybe BUG and SCH:

(Quote from and credit to Firebird Scrambler
CPSID1000 is with MTC on the port
CPSID0100 is with SCH on the port
CPSID0010 is with BUG on the port
CPSID0001 is with TRF on the port

See the sigifigance of the '1'??

You can combine these,
CPSID1110 is with MTC,SCH & BUG, but no traffic
CPSID0011 is BUG and TRF but no MTC or SCH. )

The open a capture file to save everything - the session should stay open indefinitely unless network interruption or PC problems cause it to disconnect. NOTE: you should not have to login to the PBX to see the information, just have the session open.

A better alternative is a programmable buffer box with multiple ports. I have a 4 port omnitronix buffer box that does CDR collection on 1 port, and the same type of monitoring that you're wanting to do via a spare TTY on a second port. (it also does temp monitoring, alarm contact closure alert, and monitors the terminal for OSN messages which it will spit out as a text/email to myself and the security team.) It's a pretty cool box! anyway...

Twice a day the bufferbox FTP's a copy of everything for that 12 hours period to a FTP server for future review if needed. I can go back 5 or 6 years if I ever saw the need...
