config syslog
Purpose
Used to configure the syslog protocol to send system log data to a remote
host.
Syntax
config syslog {host [all |<index 1-4>]} {severity [informational | warning | all] |
facility [local0 | local1 | local2 | local3 | local4 | local5 | local6 | local7] |
udp_port <udp_port_number> | ipaddress [<ipaddr>] | state [enable |
disable] }
Description
This command is used to configure the syslog protocol to send system log
information to a remote host.
Parameters
all – This is to specify all available indexes.
<index 1-4>
−
Specifies that the command will be applied to an index of
hosts. There are four available indexes, numbered 1 through 4.
severity
−
Severity level indicator. These are described in the following:
Bold font indicates that the corresponding severity level is currently
supported on the Switch.
Numerical Severity
Code
0 Emergency: system is unusable
1 Alert: action must be taken immediately
2 Critical: critical conditions
3 Error: error conditions
4 Warning: warning conditions
5 Notice: normal but significant condition
6 Informational: informational messages
7 Debug: debug-level messages
informational
−
Specifies that informational messages will be sent to the
remote host. This corresponds to number 6 from the list above.
warning
−
Specifies that warning messages will be sent to the remote host.
This corresponds to number 4 from the list above.
all
−
Specifies that all of the currently supported syslog messages that are
generated by the Switch will be sent to the remote host.
facility
−
Some of the operating system daemons and processes have been
assigned Facility values. Processes and daemons that have not been
explicitly assigned a Facility may use any of the "local use" facilities or they
may use the "user-level" Facility. Those Facilities that have been designated
are shown in the following: Bold font indicates the facility values the Switch
currently supports.
