Disabling Logging Of A Message Level; Changing The Number Of Entries The Local Buffer Can Hold; Changing The Log Facility - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide

Disabling Logging of a Message Level

To change the message level, disable logging of specific message levels. You must disable the message levels
on an individual basis.
USING THE CLI
For example, to disable logging of debugging and informational messages, enter the following commands:
HP9300(config)# no logging buffered debugging
HP9300(config)# no logging buffered informational
Syntax: [no] logging buffered <level> | <num-entries>
The <level> parameter can have one of the following values:
• alerts
• critical
• debugging
• emergencies
• errors
• informational
• notifications
• warnings
The commands in the example above change the log level to notification messages or higher. The software will
not log informational or debugging messages. The changed message level also applies to the Syslog servers.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
See the section "Displaying and Configuring Syslog Buffer Parameters Using the Web Management Interface" on
page A-7.

Changing the Number of Entries the Local Buffer Can Hold

You also can use the logging buffered command to change the number of entries the local Syslog buffer can
store. For example:
HP9300(config)# logging buffered 100
The default number of messages is 50. The value can be from 1 – 1000. The change takes effect immediately
and does not require you to reload the software.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
See the section "Displaying and Configuring Syslog Buffer Parameters Using the Web Management Interface" on
page A-7.
NOTE: If you decrease the size of the buffer, the software clears the buffer before placing the change into effect.
If you increase the size of the buffer, the software does not clear existing entries.

Changing the Log Facility

The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages from the HP
device. The default facility for messages the HP device sends to the Syslog server is "user". You can change the
facility using the following command.
NOTE: You can specify only one facility. If you configure the HP device to use two Syslog servers, the device
uses the same facility on both servers.
