Displaying Syslog messages

To display the Syslog messages in the device local buffer, enter the show logging command at any
level of the CLI. The following shows an example display output.

TurboIron#show logging

Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 3 messages logged

level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error

For information about the Syslog configuration information, time stamps, and dynamic and static
buffers, refer to

“Displaying the Syslog configuration”

on page 223.

Enabling real-time display of Syslog messages

By default, to view Syslog messages generated by a device, you need to display the Syslog buffer or
the log on a Syslog server used by the device.

You can enable real-time display of Syslog messages on the management console. When you
enable this feature, the software displays a Syslog message on the management console when the
message is generated. However, to enable display of real-time Syslog messages in Telnet or SSH
sessions, you also must enable display within the individual sessions.

To enable real-time display of Syslog messages, enter the following command at the global CONFIG
level of the CLI.

TurboIron(config)#logging console

Syntax: [no] logging console

This command enables the real-time display of Syslog messages on the serial console. You can
enter this command from the serial console or a Telnet or SSH session.

Enabling real-time display for a Telnet or SSH session

To also enable the real-time display for a Telnet or SSH session, enter the following command from
the Privileged EXEC level of the session.

telnet@TurboIron#terminal monitor

Syslog trace was turned ON

Syntax: terminal monitor

Notice that the CLI displays a message to indicate the status change for the feature. To disable the
feature in the management session, enter the terminal monitor command again. The command
toggles the feature on and off.
