Switch Logging Commands Overview

Displaying Switch Logging Records

The show log swlog
can display information according to session, timestamp, application ID, or severity level. For details, refer
to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. The following sample screen output shows a display of all the
switch logging information.
Note. Switch logging frequently records a very large volume of data. It can take several minutes for all the
switch logging information to scroll to the console screen.
