Setting Logging Levels
To configure trace and syslog levels for every component by each log destination, use the
logging command. Note the presence of a special component all. If all is specified, then
all components are configured.
By default, each component is configured so that syslog messages of INFO or greater are
sent to the local system buffer. The Global Configuration command has the following
syntax:
logging [buffered | console | syslog] component name log-level level
trace-level level
For example, to send syslog messages at information level and higher and all debug trace
messages from the AUTH component to the syslog destination, enter the following
command:
(SafeGuardOS) #configure terminal
(SafeGuardOS) (config) #logging syslog component AUTH log-level INFO trace-level
DEBUG
(SafeGuardOS) (config) #exit
(SafeGuardOS) #
Setting Logging Hosts
To configure a component to send syslog messages to a remote server, perform these
steps:
1 Configure the component to send the messages to syslog as the destination.
2 Configure a remote host/port.
The first step is like configuring any other logging destination (that is, buffered logging).
The second step uses the following Global Configuration logging host command:
Syntax Description buffered Log destination is internal buffer.
console Log destination is console.
syslog Log destination is syslog.
name Component name as listed in the Component
Table.
level Severity level as defined in the Severity Level
Table.
