User Guidelines
The logging process controls the distribution of logging messages to the
various destinations, such as the logging buffer, logging file, or syslog server.
Logging on and off for these destinations can be individually configured using
the logging buffered, logging file, and logging
server global configuration
commands. However, if the logging on command is disabled, no messages are
sent to these destinations. In this case, only the console will continue to
receive logging messages.
Example
The following example shows how logging is enabled.
console(config)#logging on
logging protocol
Use this command to log messages in RFC5424 format, including time zone
and subsecond resolution time stamps. Use the no form of this command to
set the logging to the default format.
