The facility value is usually 1, which means it is a user-level message. Therefore, to
determine the severity level of the message, subtract 8 from the number in the angle
brackets. The sample log message shows a severity level of 6 (informational). For more
information about the severity of a log message, see
page 376.

Message Log Format

This topic applies to the format of all logged messages that are displayed for the message
log, persistent log, or console log.
Messages logged to a collector or relay through syslog use an identical format:
• <15>Aug 24 05:34:05 0.0.0.0-1 MSTP[2110]: mspt_api.c(318) 237%%
Interface 12 transitioned to root state on message age timer
expiry.
This example indicates a message with severity 7 (15 mod 8) (debug) on a chassis and
generated by component MSTP running in thread ID 2110 on Aug 24 05:34:05 by line 318
of file mstp_api.c. This is the 237th message logged with system IP 0.0.0.0 and task-ID
1.
• <15>Aug 24 05:34:05 STK0 MSTP[2110]: mspt_api.c(318) 237%%
Interface 12 transitioned to root state on message age timer
expiry.
This example indicates a user-level message (1) with severity 7 (debug) on a system that
is not a chassis and generated by component MSTP running in thread ID 2110 on Aug 24
05:34:05 by line 318 of file mstp_api.c. This is the 237th message logged. Messages
logged to a collector or relay through syslog use a format identical to the previous
message.

Manage the Flash Log

The flash log is a persistent log, that is, is a log that is stored in persistent storage. Persistent
storage survives across platform reboots. The first log type is the system startup log. The
system startup log stores the first 32 messages received after system reboot. The second log
type is the system operation log. The system operation log stores messages received during
system operation.
