Syslog service configuration
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.
Brocade(config)#no logging buffered debugging
Brocade(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.
Brocade(config)#logging buffered 100
Brocade(config)#write mem
Brocade(config)#exit
Brocade#reload
Syntax: logging buffered <num>
The default number of messages is 50. For FastIron Layer 2 switches, you can set the Syslog buffer
limit from 1 – 100 entries. For FastIron Layer 3 switches, you can set the Syslog buffer limit from 1
– 1000 entries.
Local buffer configuration notes
• You must save the configuration and reload the software to place the change into effect.
• If you decrease the size of the buffer, the software clears the buffer before placing the change
into effect.
• If you increase the size of the Syslog buffer, the software will clear some of the older locally
buffered Syslog messages.
