Adding a description for a Syslog server

You can associate a user-friendly description with each of the IP addresses (IPv4 only) configured

for syslog using the CLI or SNMP.

CAUTION: Entering the no logging command removes ALL the syslog server addresses without

a verification prompt.

NOTE: The HP enterprise MIB hpicfSyslog.mib allows the configuration and monitoring of syslog

for SNMP (RFC 3164 supported.)

The CLI command is:

Syntax

logging ip-addr [control-descr text_string ]

no logging ip-addr [control-descr]

An optional user-friendly description that can be associated with a server IP address.

If no description is entered, this is blank. If text_string contains white space,

use quotes around the string. IPv4 addresses only.

Use the no form of the command to remove the description. Limit: 255 characters

NOTE: To remove the description using SNMP, set the description to an empty

string.

Example

Example 115 logging command with a control description

HP Switch(config)# logging 10.10.10.2 control-descr syslog_one

Adding a priority description

This description can be added with the CLI or SNMP. The CLI command is:

Syntax

logging priority-descr text_string

no logging priority-descr

Provides a user-friendly description for the combined filter values of severity and

system module. If no description is entered, this is blank.

If text_string contains white space, use quotes around the string.

Use the no form of the command to remove the description.

Limit: 255 characters

Example

Example 116 The logging command with a priority description

HP Switch(config)# logging priority-descr severe-pri

NOTE: A notification is sent to the SNMP agent if there are any changes to the syslog parameters,

either through the CLI or with SNMP.
