Configuring logging
Configuring a Syslog server
A Syslog server is a remote server that receives logging messages using the Syslog protocol.
This enables storage of large log files, which you can use to generate reports.
Defining Syslog servers
You can define up to three Syslog servers.
1. Define the Syslog server by entering set logging server followed by the IP address
of the server. For example:
G450-001(super)# set logging server 147.2.3.66
Done!
2. Enable the Syslog server by entering set logging server enable followed by the IP
address of the Syslog server. When you define a new Syslog server, it is defined as
disabled, so you must use this command in order to enable the server. For example:
G450-001(super)# set logging server enable 147.2.3.66
Done!
3. Optionally, define an output facility for the Syslog server by typing the set logging
server facility command, followed by the name of the output facility and the IP
address of the Syslog server. If you do not define an output facility, the default local7
facility is used. For example:
G450-001(super)# set logging server facility auth 147.2.3.66
Done!
The following is a list of possible facilities:
auth. Authorization
●
daemon. Background system process
●
clkd. Clock daemon

clkd2. Clock daemon

mail. Electronic mail

local0 – local7. For local use
