Configuring the Syslog service

Syntax: show logging

The Syslog display shows the following configuration information, in the rows above the log entries
themselves.

Static and dynamic buffers

The software provides two buffers:

Static – logs power supply failures, fan failures, and temperature warning or shutdown
messages

Dynamic – logs all other message types

Displays...

Syslog logging

The state (enabled or disabled) of the Syslog buffer.

messages dropped

The number of Syslog messages dropped due to user-configured filters. By
default, the software logs messages for all Syslog levels. You can disable
individual Syslog levels, in which case the software filters out messages at those
levels. Refer to

“Disabling logging of a message level”

on page 228. Each time

the software filters out a Syslog message, this counter is incremented.

flushes

The number of times the Syslog buffer has been cleared by the clear logging
command. Refer to

“Clearing the Syslog messages from the local buffer”

on

page 230.

overruns

The number of times the dynamic log buffer has filled up and been cleared to
hold new entries. For example, if the buffer is set for 100 entries, the 101st entry
causes an overrun. After that, the 201st entry causes a second overrun.

level

The message levels that are enabled. Each letter represents a message type and
is identified by the key (level code) below the value. If you disable logging of a
message level, the code for that level is not listed.

messages logged

The total number of messages that have been logged since the software was
loaded.

level code

The message levels represented by the one-letter codes.
