Notice that the static buffer contains two separate messages for fan failures. Each message of each
type has its own buffer. Thus, if you replace fan 1 but for some reason that fan also fails, the software
replaces the first message about the failure of fan 1 with the newer message. The software does not
overwrite the message for fan 2, unless the software sends a newer message for fan 2.
Clearing log entries
When you clear log entries, you can selectively clear the static or dynamic buffer, or you can clear both.
For example, to clear only the dynamic buffer, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC
level.
device#clear logging dynamic-buffer
Syntax: clear logging [ dynamic-buffer | static-buffer ]
You can specify dynamic-buffer to clear the dynamic buffer or static-buffer to clear the static buffer. If
you do not specify a buffer, both buffers are cleared.
Time stamps
The contents of the time stamp differ depending on whether you have set the time and date on the
onboard system clock:
• If you have set the time and date on the onboard system clock, the date and time are shown in the
following format.
mm dd hh:mm:ss

For example, "Oct 15 17:38:03" means October 15 at 5:38 PM and 3 seconds.
• If you have not set the time and date on the onboard system clock, the time stamp shows the amount
of time that has passed since the device was booted, in the following format.
num d num h num m num s

For example, "188d1h01m00s" means the device had been running for 188 days, 11 hours, one minute,
and zero seconds when the Syslog entry with this time stamp was generated.

The example shows the format of messages on a device where the onboard system clock has been set.
Each time stamp shows the month, the day, and the time of the system clock when the message was
