Specify Log Format
logging format standard logging format welf
no logging format welf
Sets the format in which log messages should be set. The choices are standard and welf. The
default is
standard, and the no variant resets the format to this.
Specify the Log Firewall
logging format welf fw-name <firewall name>
no logging format welf fw-name
Specifies the firewall name that should be associated with each message logged in WELF format.
If no firewall name is set, the hostname is used by default. Note that neither of these commands
enables WELF logging if it is not already enabled.
Set CLI Command Severity
logging level cli commands <log level>
Set the severity level at which CLI commands that the user executes are logged. The default is
info.
Specify When Logs are Rotated
logging files rotation criteria frequency {daily, weekly, monthly}
logging files rotation criteria size <log file size threshold>
logging files rotation criteria size-pct <log file size percent threshold>
Configure what criteria will be used to decide when log files on local persistent storage should be
automatically rotated. There are two mutually exclusive options: rotate based on time, or based on
when the active log file reaches a certain size threshold. If the latter is chosen, the size of the file is
checked hourly, so if it passes the threshold in the middle of the hour it will not be rotated until the
end of the hour.
Specify Number of Old Log Files Saved
logging files rotation max-num <max number of files to keep>
Configure how many old log files will be kept. If the number of log files ever exceeds this number
(either at rotation time, or when this setting is lowered), the system will delete as many as necessary
to bring it down to this number, starting with the oldest.
