Configuring Logging Format; Setting Up A Secure Connection To A Syslog Server - Dell S6100 Configuration Manual

Displaying Audit and Security Logs
To display audit logs, use the show logging auditlog command in Exec mode. To view these logs, you must first enable the logging
extended command. Only the RBAC system administrator user role can view the audit logs. Only the RBAC security administrator and
system administrator user role can view the security logs. If extended logging is disabled, you can only view system events, regardless of
RBAC user role. To view security logs, use the show logging command.
Example of the show logging auditlog Command
For information about the logging extended command, see
Dell#show logging auditlog

Clearing Audit Logs
To clear audit logs, use the clear logging auditlog command in Exec mode. When RBAC is enabled, only the system administrator
user role can issue this command.
Example of the clear logging auditlog Command
Dell# clear logging auditlog

Configuring Logging Format

To display syslog messages in a RFC 3164 or RFC 5424 format, use the logging version {0 | 1} command in CONFIGURATION
mode. By default, the system log version is set to 0.
The following describes the two log messages formats:
• 0 – Displays syslog messages format as described in RFC 3164, The BSD syslog Protocol
• 1 – Displays syslog message format as described in RFC 5424, The SYSLOG Protocol
Example of Configuring the Logging Message Format
Dell(conf)#logging version ?
<0-1> Select syslog version (default = 0)
Dell(conf)#logging version 1
