Abstract
A method is provided in one example and includes creating a staging queue in a virtual interface card (VIC) adapter firmware of a server based on a log policy; receiving a log message from a VIC driver in the server; copying the log message to the staging queue; generating a VIC control message comprising the log message from the staging queue; and sending the VIC control message to a switch.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating a staging queue in a virtual interface card (VIC) adapter firmware of a server in a datacenter based on a log policy;
- receiving a log message from a VIC driver in the server;
- copying the log message to the staging queue;
- generating a VIC control message comprising the log message from the staging queue;
- sending the VIC control message to a switch;
- and
- sending a notification based on the log message.

An apparatus comprising:
- a memory element for storing data;
- and
- a processor operable to execute instructions associated with the data, wherein the processor and the memory element cooperate, such that the apparatus is configured to:
- generate a staging queue in a virtual interface card (VIC) adapter firmware of a server in a datacenter based on a log policy;
- receive a log message from a VIC driver in the server;
- copy the log message to the staging queue;
- generate a VIC control message comprising the log message from the staging queue;
- send the VIC control message to a switch;
- and
- send a notification based on the log message.
