Configuring syslog Servers

You can configure up to three syslog servers that reference remote systems where you want to log system
messages.
For information about distributing the syslog configuration on the fabric, see the
Server Configuration Distribution" section on page
You can configure a syslog server on a UNIX or Linux system by adding the following line to the
/etc/syslog.conf file:
facility.level <five tab characters> action
Table 1-2
OL-16597-01
describes the syslog fields that you can configure.
Purpose
Enables logging messages from the specified facility
that have the specified severity level or higher.
Severity levels, which range from 0 to 7, are listed in
Table 1-1. To apply the same severity level to all
facilities, use the all facility. For defaults, see the
show logging level command.
Resets the logging severity level for the specified
facility to its default level. If you do not specify a
facility and severity level, the switch resets all
facilities to their default levels.
(Optional) Displays the logging level configuration
and the system default level by facility. If you do not
specify a facility, the switch displays levels for all
facilities.
Sets the logging time-stamp units. By default, the
units are seconds.
Resets the logging time-stamp units to the default of
seconds.
(Optional) Displays the logging time-stamp units
configured.
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
