Logging Command

At the global configuration level, the

logging command allows you to enable

debug logging on specified Syslog servers and select a subset of Event Log
messages to send for debugging purposes according to:

Severity level

System module

By specifying both a severity level and system module, you can use both
configured settings to filter the Event Log messages you want to use to
troubleshoot switch or network error conditions.

C a u t i o n

After you configure a Syslog server and a severity level and/or system module
to filter the Event Log messages that are sent, if you save these settings to the
startup configuration file by entering the

write memory command, these debug

and logging settings are automatically re-activated after a switch reboot or
power recycle. The debug settings and destinations configured in your
previous troubleshooting session will then be applied to the current session,
which may not be desirable.

After a reboot, messages remain in the Event Log and are not deleted.
However, after a power recycle, all Event Log messages are deleted.

If you configure a severity level and/or system module to temporarily filter
Event Log messages, be sure to reset the values to their default settings by
entering the

no form of the following commands to ensure that Event Log

messages of all severity levels and from all system modules are sent to
configured Syslog servers:

ProCurve(config)# no logging severity

< debug | major | error | warning | info>

ProCurve(config)# no logging system-module

< system-module >
