Configuring the Syslog service
41
Changing the number of entries the local buffer can hold
You also can use the logging buffered command to change the number of entries the local Syslog
buffer can store. For example.
PowerConnect(config)#logging buffered 100
PowerConnect(config)#write mem
PowerConnect(config)#exit
PowerConnect#reload
Syntax: logging buffered <num>
The default number of messages is 50. For PowerConnect Layer 2 switches, you can set the Syslog
buffer limit from 1 – 100 entries. For PowerConnect Layer 3 switches, you can set the Syslog buffer
limit from 1 – 1000 entries.
Configuration notes
You must save the configuration and reload the software to place the change into effect.
If you decrease the size of the buffer, the software clears the buffer before placing the change
into effect.
If you increase the size of the Syslog buffer, the software will clear some of the older locally
buffered Syslog messages.
Changing the log facility
The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages
from the Dell PowerConnect device. The default facility for messages the Dell PowerConnect
device sends to the Syslog server is “user”. You can change the facility using the following
command.
NOTE
You can specify only one facility. If you configure the Dell PowerConnect device to use two Syslog
servers, the device uses the same facility on both servers.
PowerConnect(config)#logging facility local0
Syntax: logging facility <facility-name>
The <facility-name> can be one of the following:
kern – kernel messages
user – random user-level messages
mail – mail system
daemon – system daemons
auth – security or authorization messages
syslog – messages generated internally by Syslog
lpr – line printer subsystem
news – netnews subsystem
uucp – uucp subsystem
sys9 – cron/at subsystem
