System and logs¶
The following resources and requests expose the rc_visard NG’s system-level API. They enable
- access to log files (system-wide or module-specific)
- access to information about the device and run-time statistics such as date, MAC address, clock-time synchronization status, and available resources;
- management of installed software licenses; and
- the rc_visard NG to be updated with a new firmware image.
