Sending Syslog Messages to an E-mail Address

To send syslog messages to an e-mail address, perform the following steps:

logging ftp-server

server path username password

Example:

hostname(config)# logging ftp-server 10.1.1.1

/syslogs logsupervisor 1luvMy10gs

Identifies the FTP server on which you want to store
log buffer content. The server argument specifies the
IP address of the external FTP server. The path
argument specifies the directory path on the FTP
server where the log buffer data is to be saved. This
path is relative to the FTP root directory. The
username argument specifies a username that is valid
for logging into the FTP server. The password
argument indicates the password for the username
specified.

logging savelog

[savefile]

Example:

hostname(config)# logging savelog latest-logfile.txt

flash memory.

Step 1

logging mail

{severity_level | message_list}

Example:

hostname(config)# logging mail high-priority

Specifies which syslog messages should be sent to an e-mail
address. When sent by e-mail, the device name appears in the
subject line of the e-mail message and the syslog message
appears in the body of the e-mail message. For this reason, we
recommend configuring this option to notify administrators of
syslog messages with high severity levels, such as critical,
alert, and emergency.

Step 2

logging from-address

email_address

Example:

hostname(config)# logging from-address

[email protected]

Specifies the source e-mail address to be used when sending
syslog messages to an e-mail address.

Step 3

logging recipient-address

e-mail_address

[severity_level]

Example:

hostname(config)# logging recipient-address

[email protected]

Specifies the recipient e-mail address to be used when sending
syslog messages to an e-mail address.

Step 4

smtp-server

ip_address

Example:

hostname(config)# smtp-server 10.1.1.1

Specifies the SMTP server to be used when sending syslog
messages to an e-mail address.
