Configuring the System Log
By default, buffered logging (the “System log”) is disabled. To enable the system logging:
Note: See also the show trapflags and show snmptrap commands in the Management
chapters of this guide and the SFTOS Command Reference.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
logging buffered Global Config Turn on buffered logging (off by default). Enter no logging
buffered to disable buffered logging.
no logging buffered wrap Global Config (Optional) Turn off wrapping (overwriting the oldest events).
The feature, enabled by default, allows continued logging when
memory capacity is reached. Enter logging buffered wrap to
reenable wrapping.
no logging cli-command Global Config (Optional) The logging of CLI activity is enabled by default. To
turn this feature off, enter this command. Enter logging
cli-command to reenable logging of CLI commands.
logging console [severitylevel] Global Config (Optional) Enable logging to the console (disabled by default).
The default logging severity level is 2 (critical). To change the
level, enter the appropriate word or equivalent integer value in
place of severitylevel, as listed here: emergency (0), alert (1),
critical (2), error (3), warning (4), notice (5), informational (6),
debug (7).
Note: The severity level entered here does not affect the
severity level of the system log stored in memory; that
severity level is fixed at 7 (debug).
Enter no logging console to disable console logging.
logging history size size
Global Config Specify how many messages are to be saved in the SFTOS
logging history table before being overwritten. This log collects
the same messages as the System log.
