Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics
show log
show log {chronological} {<priority>}
Description
Displays the current snapshot of the log.
Syntax Description
Default
If not specified, informational priority messages and higher are displayed.
Usage Guidelines
The switch maintains 1,000 message in its internal log. You use the
show log
command to display the
log.
Options for displaying the log include:
•
chronological
—Filters the log to display messages in ascending chronological order.
•
priority
—Filters the log to display messages with the selected priority or higher (more critical).
Priorities include alert, critical, debug, emergency, error, info, notice, and warning.
The switch log tracks all configuration and fault information pertaining to the device. Each entry in the
log contains the following information:
• Timestamp—The timestamp records the month and day of the event, along with the time (hours,
minutes, and seconds) in the form HH:MM:SS. If the event was caused by a user, the user name is
also provided.
• Fault level—Table 13 describes the levels of importance that the system can assign to a fault.
By default, log entries that are assigned a critical or warning level remain in the log after a switch
reboot. Issuing a clear log command does not remove these static entries. To remove log entries of
all levels (including warning or critical), use the following command:
clear log static
chronological Specifies to show log entries in ascending chronological order.
priority Specifies a message priority. These can be one of the following:
alert, critical, debug, emergency, error, info, notice, or warning.
