Setup Guide

You can export system logs to an external server that is connected through a different VRF.
Configuring a UNIX System as a Syslog Server
To configure a UNIX System as a syslog server, use the following command.
● Configure a UNIX system as a syslog server by adding the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf on the UNIX system and
assigning write permissions to the file.
○ Add line on a 4.1 BSD UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/log/ftos.log
○ Add line on a 5.7 SunOS UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/adm/ftos.log
In the previous lines, local7 is the logging facility level and debugging is the severity level.
Changing System Logging Settings
You can change the default settings of the system logging by changing the severity level and the storage location.
The default is to log all messages up to debug level, that is, all system messages. By changing the severity level in the logging
commands, you control the number of system messages logged.
To specify the system logging settings, use the following commands.
● Specify the minimum severity level for logging to the logging buffer.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging buffered level
● Specify the minimum severity level for logging to the console.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging console level
● Specify the minimum severity level for logging to terminal lines.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging monitor level
● Specify the minimum severity level for logging to a syslog server.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging trap level
● Specify the minimum severity level for logging to the syslog history table.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging history level
● Specify the size of the logging buffer.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging buffered size
NOTE:
When you decrease the buffer size, Dell EMC Networking OS deletes all messages stored in the buffer.
Increasing the buffer size does not affect messages in the buffer.
● Specify the number of messages that Dell EMC Networking OS saves to its logging history table.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging history size size
To view the logging buffer and configuration, use the show logging command in EXEC privilege mode, as shown in the
example for Display the Logging Buffer and the Logging Configuration.
To view the logging configuration, use the show running-config logging command in privilege mode, as shown in the
example for Configure a UNIX Logging Facility Level.
