Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics
configure log target filter
configure log target [console-display | memory-buffer | nvram | session |
syslog [<host name/ip> {: <udp-port>} [local0 ... local7]]]
filter <filter name> {severity <severity> {only}}
Description
Associates a filter to a target.
Syntax Description
Default
If severity is not specified, the severity level for the target is left unchanged.
Usage Guidelines
This command associates the specified filter and severity with the specified target. A filter limits
messages sent to a target.
Although each target can be configured with its own filter, by default all targets are associated with the
built-in filter called DefaultFilter. Each target can also be configured with its own severity level. This
provides the ability to associate multiple targets with the same filter, while having a configurable
severity level for each target.
A message is sent to a target if the target has been enabled, the message passes the associated filter, the
message is at least as severe as the configured severity level, and the message output matches the
regular expression specified. By default, the memory buffer and the NVRAM targets are enabled. For
other targets, use the command
enable log target
on page 766. Table 14 describes the default
