configure log target syslog [all | <ipaddress> | <ipPort>] {vr <vr_name>}
{local0 ... local7} from <source-ip-address>
The following sections describe the commands required for configuring filters, formats, and
severity.
Severity
Messages are issued with one of the following severity levels: Critical, Error, Warning, Notice,
Info, Debug-Summary, Debug-Verbose, or Debug-Data. When a message is sent to a syslog
target, the severity is mapped to a corresponding syslog priority value (see RFC 3164).
The three severity levels for extended debugging—Debug-Summary, Debug-Verbose, and
Debug-Data—require that log debug mode be enabled (which may cause a performance
degradation). See
Displaying Debug Information on page 228 for more information about
debugging.
You can use more than one command to configure the severity level of the messages sent to
a target. The most direct way to set the severity level of all the sent messages is to use the
following command:
configure log target [console | memory-buffer | nvram | primary-msm |
primayr-node | backup-msm | backup-node | session | syslog [all | <ipaddress> |
<ipPort> {vr <vr_name>} [local0 ... local7]]] {severity <severity> {only}}
Table 27. Severity Levels Assigned by the Switch
Level Description
Critical A serious problem has been detected that is compromising the operation of the system;
the system cannot function as expected unless the situation is remedied. The switch may
need to be reset.
Error A problem has been detected that is interfering with the normal operation of the system;
the system is not functioning as expected.
Warning An abnormal condition, not interfering with the normal operation of the system, has been
detected that indicate that the system or the network in general may not be functioning as
expected.
Notice A normal but significant condition has been detected, which signals that the system is
functioning as expected.
Info (Informational) A normal but potentially interesting condition has been detected, which signals that the
system is functioning as expected; this level simply provides potentially detailed
information or confirmation.
Debug-Summary A condition has been detected that may interest a developer seeking the reason
underlying some system behavior.
Debug-Verbose A condition has been detected that may interest a developer analyzing some system
behavior at a more verbose level than provided by the debug summary information.
Debug-Data A condition has been detected that may interest a developer inspecting the data
underlying some system behavior.
