Log File Information
By default, the CSS has boot logging and system logging enabled and writes the
logged information to the log files on the hard disk or flash disk, depending on the
type of storage in your CSS. Log file information is recorded as ASCII text.
Note If the CSS disk fails, log and archive information cannot be saved to files on the
disk.
For information on:
• Configuring logging functions and log messages, refer to the Cisco Content
Services Switch Administration Guide
• Using syslogd, refer to your syslogd daemon reference guide

VTY1
VTY2 Backup of a system log file. When a
system log file reaches its maximum
size (50 MB, for a hard disk-based
CSS; 10 MB, for a flash disk-based
CSS), the software renames the
system log file to sys.log.prev and
starts a new system log file. The CSS
overwrites an existing backup system
log file when a system log file is
renamed. When you reboot a CSS, the
software continues to use the existing
system log file until it reaches its
maximum size.
