Real-Time Display
In addition to viewing a snapshot of the log, you can configure the
system to maintain a running real-time display of log messages on the
console. To turn on the log display, enter the following command:
enable log display
To configure the log display, use the following command:
config log display {<priority>}
If
priority
is not specified, only messages of critical priority are
displayed.
If you enable the log display on a terminal connected to the console port,
your settings will remain in effect even after your console session is ended
(unless you explicitly disable the log display).
Remote Logging
In addition to maintaining an internal log, the switch supports remote
logging by way of the UNIX syslog host facility. Up to four syslogs may be
configured. To enable remote logging, do the following:
■
Configure the syslog host to accept and log messages.
■
Enable remote logging by using the following command:
enable syslog
■
Configure remote logging by using the following command:
config syslog [add | delete] <ipaddress> <facility>
{<priority>}
Specify the following:
■ ipaddress
— The IP address of the syslog host.
■ facility
— The syslog facility level for local use. Options include
local0
through
local7
.
■ priority
— Filters the log to display message with the selected
priority or higher (more critical). Priorities include (in order) critical,
emergency, alert, error, warning, notice, info, and debug. If not
specified, only critical priority messages are sent to the syslog host.
Refer to your UNIX documentation for more information about the syslog
host facility.
