User Guidelines
After entering the view corresponding to a specific SYSLOG server, the
command can be executed to set the severity level for SYSLOG messages.
Debug level messages are intended for use by support personnel. The output
is voluminous, cryptic, and because of the large number of messages
generated, can adversely affect switch operations. Only set the logging level to
debug under the direction of support personnel.
Example

console(config-logging)#level alerts
logging cli-command

command logging.
