Configuring the Syslog service
41
Specify a Syslog server. You can configure the Dell PowerConnect device to use up to six
Syslog servers. (Use of a Syslog server is optional. The system can hold up to 1000 Syslog
messages in an internal buffer.)
Change the level of messages the system logs.
Change the number of messages the local Syslog buffer can hold.
Display the Syslog configuration.
Clear the local Syslog buffer.
Logging is enabled by default, with the following settings:
Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.
By default, up to 50 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer. This can be changed.
No Syslog server is specified.
Displaying the Syslog configuration
To display the Syslog parameters currently in effect on a Dell PowerConnect device, enter the
following command from any level of the CLI.
Syntax: show logging
The Syslog display shows the following configuration information, in the rows above the log entries
themselves.
TABLE 238 CLI display of Syslog buffer configuration
This field... Displays...
Syslog logging The state (enabled or disabled) of the Syslog buffer.
messages dropped The number of Syslog messages dropped due to user-configured filters. By
default, the software logs messages for all Syslog levels. You can disable
individual Syslog levels, in which case the software filters out messages at those
levels. Refer to “Disabling logging of a message level” on page 1388. Each time
the software filters out a Syslog message, this counter is incremented.
flushes The number of times the Syslog buffer has been cleared by the clear logging
command or equivalent Web Management Interface option. Refer to “Clearing
the Syslog messages from the local buffer” on page 1391.
