Configuring Logging
• To specify that the Syslog ID table should display only those syslog message IDs that have been
explicitly disabled, choose Show disabled syslog IDs.
• To specify that the Syslog ID table should display only those syslog message IDs with severity levels
that have changed from their default values, choose Show syslog IDs with changed logging.
• To specify that the Syslog ID table should display only those syslog message IDs with severity levels
that have been modified and the IDs of syslog messages that have been explicitly disabled, choose
Show syslog IDs that are disabled or with a changed logging level.
Step 5 The Syslog ID Setup Table displays the list of syslog messages based on the setting in the Syslog ID
Setup Table. Choose individual messages or ranges of message IDs that you want to modify. You can
either disable the selected message IDs or modify their severity levels. To select more than one message
ID in the list, click the first ID in the range and Shift-click the last ID in the range.
Step 6 To configure syslog messages to include a device ID, click Advanced. For more information, see the
“Editing Syslog ID Settings” section on page 76-10 and the “Including a Device ID in Non-EMBLEM
Formatted Syslog Messages” section on page 76-11.
Editing Syslog ID Settings
To change syslog message settings, perform the following steps:
Note The Syslog ID(s) field is display-only. The values that appear in this area are determined by the entries
you chose in the Syslog ID table, located in the Syslog Setup pane.
Step 1 Check the Disable Message(s) check box to disable messages for the syslog message ID(s) displayed in
the Syslog ID(s) list.
Step 2 From the Logging Level drop-down list, choose the severity level of messages to be sent for the syslog
message ID(s) displayed in the Syslog ID(s) list. Severity levels are defined as follows:
• Emergency (level 0, system is unusable)
Note Using a severity level of zero is not recommended.
• Alert (level 1, immediate action is needed)
• Critical (level 2, critical conditions)
• Error (level 3, error conditions)
• Warning (level 4, warning conditions)
• Notification (level 5, normal but significant conditions)
• Informational (level 6, informational messages only)
• Debugging (level 7, debugging messages only)
