Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics
configure syslog add
configure syslog {add} <ipaddress> [local0 ... local7] {<severity>}
Description
Configures the remote syslog server host address, and filters messages to be sent to the remote syslog
target.
Syntax Description
Default
If a severity level is not specified, all messages are sent to the remote syslog server target.
Usage Guidelines
Options for configuring the remote syslog server include:
• ipaddress—The IP address of the remote syslog server hose.
• facility—The syslog facility level for local use (local0– local7).
• severity—Filters the messages sent to the remote syslog server target to have the selected severity or
higher (more critical). Severities include critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug-summary,
debug-verbose, and debug-data.
The switch log overwrites existing log messages in a wrap-around memory buffer, which may cause
you to lose valuable information once the buffer becomes full. The remote syslog server does not
overwrite log information, and can store messages in non-volatile files (disks, for example).
The enable syslog command must be issued in order for messages to be sent to the remote syslog
server(s). Syslog is disabled by default. A total of four syslog servers can be configured at one time.
When a syslog server is added, it is associated with the filter DefaultFilter. Use the configure log
target filter
command to associate a different filter.
The syslog facility level is defined as local0 – local7. The facility level is used to group syslog data.
Example
The following command configures the remote syslog server target with a critical severity:
configure syslog 123.45.67.78 local1 critical
ipaddress Specifies the remote syslog server IP address.
local0 ... local7 Specifies the local syslog facility.
severity Specifies a message severity. Severities include critical, error, warning, notice,
info, debug-summary, debug-verbose, and debug-data.
