Configuring the Syslog service

In the static log, new messages replace older ones, so only the most recent message is displayed.
For example, only the most recent temperature warning message will be present in the log. If
multiple temperature warning messages are sent to the log, the latest one replaces the previous
one. The static buffer is not configurable.
The message types that appear in the static buffer do not appear in the dynamic buffer. The
dynamic buffer contains up to the maximum number of messages configured for the buffer (50 by
default), then begins removing the oldest messages (at the bottom of the log) to make room for
new ones.
The static and dynamic buffers are both displayed when you display the log.
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.
When you clear log entries, 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.
PowerConnect#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
