Configuring the Syslog service
The procedures in this section describe how to perform the following Syslog configuration tasks:
•
Specify a Syslog server. You can configure the device to use up to six Syslog servers. (Use of a
Syslog server is optional. The system can hold up to 100 Syslog messages in an internal
buffer.)
•
Change the level of messages the system logs.
•
Change the number of messages the local Syslog buffer can hold.
•
Display the Syslog configuration.
•
Clear the local Syslog buffer.
Logging is enabled by default, with the following settings:
•
Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.
•
By default, up to 3800 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer. This cannot be
changed.
•
No Syslog server is specified.
