Chapter 32 Configuring System Message Logging
Configuring System Message Logging
Note
Specifying a
level
causes messages at that level and numerically lower levels to appear at the destination.
To disable logging to the console, use the
no logging console
global configuration command. To disable
logging to a terminal other than the console, use the
no logging monitor
global configuration command.
To disable logging to syslog servers, use the
no logging trap
global configuration command.
Table 32-3
describes the
level
keywords. It also lists the corresponding UNIX syslog definitions from
the most severe level to the least severe level.
The software generates four other categories of messages:
•
Error messages about software or hardware malfunctions, displayed at levels
warnings
through
emergencies
. These types of messages mean that the functionality of the switch is affected. For
information on how to recover from these malfunctions, see the system message guide
for this
release.
•
Output from the
debug
commands, displayed at the
debugging
level. Debug commands are
typically used only by the Technical Assistance Center.
•
Interface up or down transitions and system restart messages, displayed at the
notifications
level.
This message is only for information; switch functionality is not affected.
Step 4
logging trap
level
Limit messages logged to the syslog servers.
By default, syslog servers receive informational messages and
numerically lower levels (see
Table 32-3 on page 32-9
).
For complete syslog server configuration steps, see the
“Configuring
UNIX Syslog Servers” section on page 32-12
.
