Chapter 28 Configuring System Message Logging
Configuring System Message Logging
When the history table is full (it contains the maximum number of message entries specified with the
logging history size
global configuration command), the oldest message entry is deleted from the table
to allow the new message entry to be stored.
To return the logging of syslog messages to the default level, use the
no logging history
global
configuration command. To return the number of messages in the history table to the default value, use
the
no logging history size
global configuration command.
Enabling the Configuration-Change Logger
You can enable a configuration logger to keep track of configuration changes made with the
command-line interface (CLI). When you enter the
logging enable
configuration-change logger
configuration command, the log records the session, the user, and the command that was entered to
change the configuration. You can configure the size of the configuration log from 1 to 1000 entries (the
default is 100). You can clear the log at any time by entering the
no logging enable
command followed
by the
logging enable
command to disable and reenable logging.
