Specifying a Host for a Log File Destination
To send CSS log information to a syslog daemon running on the host system, use
the
logging host
command. The syslog daemon receives and displays the CSS log
messages on the host system.
The syntax for this configuration mode command is:
logging host
ip_or_host
facility
number
log-level
number
The options and variables for this command are as follows:
•
ip_or_host
- Specifies the address of a syslog daemon on the host. Enter the
IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1) or the
mnemonic host name (for example, myhost.mydomain.com).
•
facility
number
- Specifies the syslog daemon facility level. Facilities are
considered service areas, such as printing, e-mail, or network. Enter a number
from 0 to 7. For more information on the syslog daemon and facility levels,
refer to your syslog daemon documentation.
•
log-level
number
- Specifies the level of the CSS subsystem log messages to
be sent to the syslog daemon on the host. The valid log levels for the CSS
include: fatal-0, alert-1, critical-2, error-3, warning-4 (default), notice-5,
info-6, debug-7. The logging levels are listed in order of severity, with a
fatal-0 level being the most severe error and an info-6 level being the least
severe error. Refer to
Table 4-4
for a definition of the different logging levels.
The
logging host log-level
number
must be equal to or less than the log level
you configure for the
logging subsystem
command (see the
“Configuring
Logging for a Subsystem”
section). If the log-level value is less than the
logging subsystem level, the CSS only sends the message level specified in
the
log-level
option. If the log-level is greater than the logging subsystem
level, the CSS only sends the level of messages specified in the
logging
subsystem
command.
The CSS continues to send log information to the sys.log file on the CSS disk
(hard or Flash disk) when the
logging host
command is entered. To disable
logging to the sys.log file on the CSS disk, use the
logging to-disk disable
command (see the
“Disabling Logging to the sys.log File on the Disk”
section).
