Management and Configuration Guide K/KA/KB.15.15

Configuring the severity level for Event Log messages sent to a syslog server
Event Log messages are entered with one of the following severity levels (from highest to lowest):
A fatal error condition has occurred on the switch.Major
An error condition has occurred on the switch.Error
A switch service has behaved unexpectedly.Warning
Information on a normal switch event.Information
Reserved for HP switch internal diagnostic information.Debug
Using the logging severity command, you can select a set of Event Log messages according
to their severity level and send them to a syslog server. Messages of the selected and higher severity
will be sent.
Syntax
[ no ] logging severity [ major | error | warning | info |
debug ]
Configures the switch to send all Event Log messages with a severity level equal to
or higher than the specified value to all configured Syslog servers.
Default: debug (Reports messages of all severity levels.)
Use the no form of the command to remove the configured severity level and
reconfigure the default value, which sends Event Log messages of all severity levels
to syslog servers.
NOTE: The severity setting does not affect event notification messages that the
switch normally sends to the Event Log. All messages remain recorded in the Event
Log.
Configuring the system module used to select the Event Log messages sent to a syslog server
Event Log messages contain the name of the system module that reported the event. Using the
logging system-module command, you can select a set of Event Log messages according to
the originating system module and send them to a syslog server.
Syntax
[ no ] logging system-module system-module
Configures the switch to send all Event Log messages being logged from the specified
system module to configured syslog servers.
See Table C-2 (page 383) for the correct value to enter for each system module.
Default: all-pass (Reports all Event Log messages.)
Use the no form of the command to remove the configured system module value
and reconfigure the default value, which sends Event Log messages from all system
modules to syslog servers.
You can select messages from only one system module to be sent to a syslog server;
you cannot configure messages from multiple system modules to be sent. If you
re-enter the command with a different system module name, the currently configured
value is replaced with the new one.
NOTE: This setting has no effect on event notification messages that the switch
normally sends to the Event Log.
