Syslog Commands
logging on
The logging on global configuration command controls error messages logging. This command
sends debug or error messages to a logging process, which logs messages to designated locations
asynchronously to the process that generated the messages. To disable the logging process, use the
no form of this command.
Syntax
logging on
no logging on
Default Configuration

Command Mode

User Guidelines
The logging process controls the distribution of logging messages to the various destinations,
such as the logging buffer, logging file, or syslog server. Logging on and off for these
destinations can be individually configured using the
logging buffered , logging file , and
logging global configuration commands. However, if the logging on command is disabled, no
messages are sent to these destinations. Only the console receives messages.
Example
The following example shows how logging is enabled.
