Syslog Overview
Viewing the Syslog Configuration
Configuring Syslog Logging
1. If you want to use a Syslog server for recording Event Log messages:
a. Use this command to configure the Syslog server IP address and enable Syslog logging:
HPswitch(config)# logging < ip-addr >
Using this command when there are no Syslog server IP addresses already configured
enables messaging to a Syslog server.
b. Use the command in step “a” to configure any additional Syslog servers you want to use, up
to a total of six.
Example: Suppose there are no Syslog servers configured on the switch (the default). Configuring
one Syslog server enables Event Log messages to be sent to that server. (Refer to Figure 2 below.)
Figure 2. Example of Configuring Syslog Operation
Syntax: show debug
This command displays the currently configured Syslog log-
ging destination(s) and logging facility. For examples of show
debug output, refer to figure 2 on page 10.
Displays the default debug
configuration. (There are no Syslog
server IP addresses configured.)
When the logging command
configures a Syslog IP address, the
switch automatically enables
sending Event Log messages to the
Syslog address and the user
facility on the Syslog server.
