Syslog Commands

The PowerConnect supports a centralized logging subsystem with support for

local in memory logs, crash dump logs, and forwarding messages to syslog

servers. All switch components use the logging subsystem. Components log

messages to the logging component using one of the following severity levels:

• Emergency (0): system is unusable
• Alert (1): action must be taken immediately
• Critical (2): critical conditions
• Error (3): error conditions
• Warning (4): warning conditions
• Notice(5): normal but significant conditions
• Informational(6): informational messages
• Debug(7): debug-level messages

CLI Logged to Local File and Syslog Server

The PowerConnect Command Logging component logs all command line

interface commands issued on the system. The command log messages are

stored with the other system logs and provide the system operators with a

detailed log of the commands executed.
CLI command logging is configured through any of the PowerConnect

management interfaces. When the feature is enabled, all CLI commands are

logged using the existing logging subsystems. By default, the feature is

disabled.
The CLI command logging severity is set to SEVERITY_NOTICE. The

logging severity is not modifiable by the administrator.
For example, the CLI log message for the user admin is:

<189> JAN 10 18:59:09 10.27.21.22-2

CMDLOGGER[209809328]: cmd_logger_api.c(83) 367 %%
