SYSLOG Commands
Dell Networking N1500/N2000/N3000/N4000 Series Switches
The Dell Networking supports a centralized logging service with support for
local in-memory logs, crash dump logs, and forwarding messages to syslog
servers. All switch components use the logging service. Components log
messages to the logging component using one of the following severity levels:
• Emergency (0): system is unusable
• Alert (1): action must be taken immediately
• Critical (2): critical conditions
• Error (3): error conditions
• Warning (4): warning conditions
• Notice(5): normal but significant conditions
• Informational(6): informational messages
• Debug(7): debug-level messages
CLI Logged to Local File and SYSLOG Server
The Dell Networking Command Logging component logs all command line
interface commands issued on the system. The command log messages are
stored with the other system logs and provide the system operators with a
detailed log of the commands executed.
CLI command logging is configured through any of the Dell Networking
management interfaces. When the feature is enabled, all CLI commands are
logged using the existing logging service. By default, CLI command logging is
disabled.
Dell Networking supports both RFC 3164 and RFC 5424 logging to remote
SYSLOG servers.
The CLI command logging severity is set to SEVERITY_NOTICE. The
logging severity is not modifiable by the administrator.
For example, the CLI log message for the user admin is:
<189> JAN 10 18:59:09 10.27.21.22-2 CMDLOGGER[209809328]:
cmd_logger_api.c(83) 367 %% CLI:EIA-232:----:configure
