Configuring the event log severity filter (root/config/sys/sev)
This command sets the event log’s severity filter level. When set, the event log will only
record events that are equal to or higher than the specified severity level. The default
setting is 7.
Each event has a particular severity level ranging between ‘emergency’ and ‘info’. Users
can designate the lowest severity level at which to report an event in the event log. (For
example, if the severity level for event log reporting is designated as ‘alert’, the switch
logs messages of the ‘alert’ or the ‘emergency’ severity level only—’emergency’ is the
only severity level higher than ‘alert’.)
To change the event log severity level:
1. From the System Configuration menu (root/config/sys), type
sev
and press E
NTER
.
The current severity level value appears in brackets before the command prompt.
2. Type the desired selection (
1-7
) and press E
NTER
.
