Synchronizing Log Messages
You can congure Dell Networking OS to lter and consolidate the system messages for a specic line by synchronizing the message

Only the messages with a severity at or below the set level appear. This feature works on the terminal and console connections available on
the system.

CONFIGURATION mode
line {console 0 | vty number [end-number] | aux 0}
Congure the following parameters for the virtual terminal lines:
• number: the range is from zero (0) to 8.
• end-number: the range is from 1 to 8.
You can congure multiple virtual terminals at one time by entering a number and an end-number.
2 Congure a level and set the maximum number of messages to print.
LINE mode
logging synchronous [level severity-level | all] [limit]
Congure the following optional parameters:
• level severity-level: the range is from 0 to 7. The default is 2. Use the all keyword to include all messages.
• limit: the range is from 20 to 300. The default is 20.
To view the logging synchronous conguration, use the show config command in LINE mode.
Enabling Timestamp on Syslog Messages
By default, syslog messages do not include a time/date stamp stating when the error or message was created.
To enable timestamp, use the following command.
• Add timestamp to syslog messages.
CONFIGURATION mode
service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] | uptime]
Specify the following optional parameters:
• You can add the keyword localtime to include the localtime, msec, and show-timezone. If you do not add the keyword
localtime, the time is UTC.
• uptime: To view time since last boot.
If you do not specify a parameter, Dell Networking OS congures uptime.
To view the conguration, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.
To disable time stamping on syslog messages, use the no service timestamps [log | debug] command.
