Displaying the Syslog configuration and static and dynamic buffers

from any level of the CLI.

Syntax: show logging

Table 47

describes the Syslog output buffer configuration information, in the rows above the log

entries.

SNM<number>

The temperature of the switch fabric module.

LP<number>

The temperature of the interface module.

TABLE 47

Syslog buffer configuration

Field Description

Syslog logging

The state (enabled or disabled) of the Syslog buffer.

messages dropped

The number of Syslog messages dropped due to user-configured filters. By default, the
software logs messages for all Syslog levels. You can disable individual Syslog levels, in
which case the software filters out messages at those levels. Each time the software
filters out a Syslog message, this counter is incremented.

flushes

The number of times the Syslog buffer has been cleared by the clear logging
command. For information about clearing the Syslog buffer, refer to

“Static and

dynamic buffers”

on page 328.

overruns

The number of times the dynamic log buffer has filled up and been cleared to hold new
entries. For example, if the buffer is set for 100 entries, the 101st entry causes an
overrun. After that, the 201st entry causes a second overrun.

level

The message levels that are enabled. Each letter represents a message type and is
identified by the key (level code) below the value. If you disable logging of a message
level, the code for that level is not listed.

messages logged

The total number of messages that have been logged since the software was loaded.

level code

The message levels represented by the one-letter codes.
