Configuring Logging Format

To display syslog messages in a RFC 3164 or RFC 5424 format, use the logging version [0 | 1}

command in CONFIGURATION mode. By default, the system log version is set to 0.

The following describes the two log messages formats:

• 0 – Displays syslog messages format as described in RFC 3164, The BSD syslog Protocol

• 1 – Displays syslog message format as described in RFC 5424, The SYSLOG Protocol

Example of Configuring the Logging Message Format

Dell(conf)#logging version ?

<0-1> Select syslog version (default = 0)

Dell(conf)#logging version 1
