Description
The
system set syslog
command identifies the Syslog server to which the SSR
should send system messages. You can control the type of messages to send as well as
the facility under which the message is sent. The type of messages to send is based on
the severity of the message (controlled by the option
level
). Messages can also be
sent under a specific facility. There are 11 facilities supported by the SSR. On the
Syslog server, you can decide what to do with these messages based on the level as well
as the facility. For example, you might choose to discard the messages, write them to
a file or send them out to the console.
The SSR keeps the last
<n>
messages in a local circular buffer. By default, this buffer
keeps the last 10 Syslog messages. You can change the buffer size to hold anywhere
from 10 – 50 messages. To view the current buffer size, enter the
system show
syslog buffer
command.
Parameters
<hostname-or-IP-addr>
Hostname or IP address of the SYSLOG server.
<level-type>
Level of messages you want the SSR to log. Specify
one of the following:
fatal
Logs only fatal messages.
error
Logs fatal messages and error messages.
warning
Logs fatal messages, error messages, and
warning messages. This is the default.
