Configuring the Syslog service
A
Brocade(config)# no logging buffered informational
Syntax: [no] logging buffered level | num-entries
The level parameter can have one of the following values:
• alerts
• critical
• debugging
• emergencies
• errors
• informational
• notifications
• warnings
The commands in the example above change the log level to notification messages or higher. The
software will not log informational or debugging messages. The changed message level also
applies to the Syslog servers.
On a NetIron XMR and NetIron MLX, enter 1 - 5000 for num-entries.
On a NetIron CES and NetIron CER 2000, enter 1 - 5000 for num-entries.
Changing the number of entries for the local buffer
You also can use the logging buffered command to change the number of entries the local Syslog
buffer can store.
Example
Brocade(config)# logging buffered 100
Syntax: [no] logging buffered level | num-entries
On a NetIron XMR and NetIron MLX, enter 1 - 5000 for num-entries.
The default number of messages is 50. The change takes effect immediately and does not require
you to reload the software.
Changing the log facility
The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages
from the device. The default facility for messages the device sends to the Syslog server is “user”.
You can change the facility using the following command.
NOTE
You can specify only one facility. If you configure the device to use two Syslog servers, the device
uses the same facility on both servers.
Brocade(config)# logging facility local0
Syntax: [no] logging facility facility-name
The facility-name can be one of the following:
• kern – kernel messages
