Configuring the Syslog service
34
Disabling logging of a message level
To change the message level, disable logging of specific message levels. You must disable the
message levels on an individual basis.
For example, to disable logging of debugging and informational messages, enter the following
commands.
PowerConnect(config)#no logging buffered debugging
PowerConnect(config)#no logging buffered informational
Syntax: [no] logging buffered <level> | <num-entries>
The <level> parameter can have one of the following values:
• alerts
• critical
• debugging
• emergencies
• errors
• informational
• notifications
• warnings
The commands in the example above change the log level to notification messages or higher. The
software will not log informational or debugging messages. The changed message level also
applies to the Syslog servers.
Changing the number of entries the local buffer can hold
You also can use the logging buffered command to change the number of entries the local Syslog
buffer can store. For example.
PowerConnect(config)#logging buffered 100
PowerConnect(config)#write mem
PowerConnect(config)#exit
PowerConnect#reload
Syntax: logging buffered <num>
The default number of messages is 50.
Configuration notes
• If you decrease the size of the buffer, the software clears the buffer before placing the change
into effect.
Changing the log facility
The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages
from the device. The default facility for messages the device sends to the Syslog server is “user”.
You can change the facility using the following command.
