show logging
Synopsis:
Theshow logging command displays the active system log file in which are recorded the warnings, errors,
notifications, alerts, etc. that occur once the system is successfully booted.
Syntax:
show logging [end]
The syntax is described in the table below:
Command Modes:
User-execute and privileged-execute modes.
Privilege Level:
General read-only user.
Usage Guidelines:
You may want to set the number of lines displayed per screen using the terminal length command. You can
also use the more command on ts_log instead of the show logging command.
The show logging end command is the equivalent of using the UNIX tail -f command. The CLI continues to
display log entries as they occur until you enter <Ctrl>-c. No other CLI commands may be entered until
<Ctrl>-c is used to stop the log display.
It is recommended you set the terminal page length to 0 when using the end argument. Otherwise, you will
have to keep pressing the <space> bar to continue each time the maximum display length is reached. Once
you set the page length, do not change the terminal window size. Changing window size restores the terminal
length to that of the window and restarts paging.
