Displaying Syslog messages
A
For information about the Syslog configuration information, time stamps, and dynamic and static
buffers, refer to
“Displaying the Syslog configuration” on page 1381.
Enabling real-time display of Syslog messages
By default, to view Syslog messages generated by a device, you need to display the Syslog buffer or
the log on a Syslog server used by the device.
You can enable real-time display of Syslog messages on the management console. When you
enable this feature, the software displays a Syslog message on the management console when the
message is generated.
When you enable the feature, the software displays Syslog messages on the serial console when
they occur. However, to enable display of real-time Syslog messages in Telnet or SSH sessions, you
also must enable display within the individual sessions.
To enable real-time display of Syslog messages, enter the following command at the global CONFIG
level of the CLI.
BigIron RX(config)# logging console
Syntax: [no] logging console
This command enables the real-time display of Syslog messages on the serial console. You can
enter this command from the serial console.
Once real-time display of Syslog messages is enabled, you can enter the show logging command at
the monitor prompt on an ACTIVE or STANDBY Management Processor.
To also enable the real-time display for a Telnet or SSH session, enter the following command from
the Privileged EXEC level of the session.
telnet@BigIron RX# terminal monitor
Syslog trace was turned ON
Syntax: terminal monitor
Notice that the CLI displays a message to indicate the status change for the feature. To disable the
feature in the management session, enter the terminal monitor command again. The command
toggles the feature on and off.
telnet@BigIron RX# terminal monitor
Syslog trace was turned OFF
