Sending Syslog Messages To A Switch Session, Telnet Session, Or Ssh Session - Cisco 7604 Configuration Manual

Configuring and Managing Syslog Messages
To specify the number of syslog messages retained in the ASDM log buffer, enter the following
Step 2
command:
hostname(config)# logging asdm-buffer-size num_of_msgs
where num_of_msgs specifies the number of syslog messages that the FWSM retains in the ASDM log
buffer.
The following example shows how to set the ASDM log buffer size to 200 syslog messages:
hostname(config)# logging asdm-buffer-size 200
Clearing the ASDM Log Buffer
To erase the current contents of the ASDM log buffer, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# clear logging asdm

Sending Syslog Messages to a Switch Session, Telnet Session, or SSH Session

When you log in to the FWSM from the switch, you are connected using a Telnet session. Therefore, you
configure logging to a switch session the same way as you configure logging to a Telnet or SSH session.
Viewing syslog messages in a Telnet or SSH session requires two steps:

Configuring Logging for Telnet and SSH Sessions
To start logging to a Telnet or SSH session as defined in this procedure, be sure to enable logging for all

section on page
To specify which messages should be sent to a Telnet or SSH session, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# logging monitor {severity_level | message_list}
Where the severity_level argument specifies the severity levels of messages to be sent to the session. You
can specify the severity level number (0 through 7) or name. For severity level names, see the
Levels" section on page
syslog messages for severity levels 3, 2, 1, and 0.
The message_list argument specifies a customized message list that identifies the syslog messages to
send to the session. For information about creating custom message lists, see the
