Switch Logging Commands Overview Using Switch Logging
page 28-12 OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Guide April 2006
Displaying Switch Logging Records
The show log swlog command can produce a display showing all switch logging information or you can
display information according to session, timestamp, application ID or severity level. For details refer to
see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. The following sample screen output shows a display of all
switch logging information.
Note. Switch logging frequently records a very large volume of data. It can take several minutes for all
switch logging information to scroll to the console screen.

The fields in the above example are defined as follows:

number (e.g., 9968), Configuration Size (e.g., 10000), Current Size (e.g., 10000), and Mode (e.g., 2).
• The Timestamp field indicates when the swlog entry occurred (e.g., THU, NOV 12, 02:06:52 2001).
• The Application field specifies the application ID for which the stored swlog information is displayed
(e.g., SYSTEM).
• The Level field specifies the severity level for which the stored information is displayed (e.g.,
