Configuring the Syslog service
A
Notice that the static buffer contains two separate messages for fan failures. Each message of
each type has its own buffer. Thus, if you replace fan 1 but for some reason that fan also fails, the
software replaces the first message about the failure of fan 1 with the newer message. The
software does not overwrite the message for fan 2, unless the software sends a newer message for
fan 2.
Clearing log entries
Entries in the static log buffer are cleared at reset or reload; however, contents of the dynamic log
are preserved when a reload or reset command is issued. Also, during a switchover event, the
standy MP preserves the Syslog contents.
You can clear log entries manually. You can selectively clear the static or dynamic buffer, or you can
clear both. For example, to clear only the dynamic buffer, enter the following command at the
Privileged EXEC level.
BigIron RX# clear logging dynamic-buffer
Syntax: clear logging [dynamic-buffer | static-buffer]
You can specify dynamic-buffer to clear the dynamic buffer or static-buffer to clear the static buffer.
If you do not specify a buffer, both buffers are cleared.
Time stamps
The contents of the time stamp differ depending on whether you have set the time and date on the
onboard system clock.
• If you have set the time and date on the onboard system clock, the date and time are shown in
the following format:
mm dd hh:mm:ss
where:
• mm – abbreviation for the name of the month
• dd – day
• hh – hours
• mm – minutes
