Changing System Logging Settings
You can change the default settings of the system logging by changing the severity level and the storage

severity level in the logging commands, you control the number of system messages logged.
To change one of the settings for logging system messages, use any or all of the following commands in
the CONFIGURATION mode:
To view the logging buffer and configuration, enter the
show logging command in EXEC privilege mode

To view the logging configuration, enter the
show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode
