Syslog Commands

logging on

The logging on Global Configuration mode command controls error messages logging. This
command sends debug or error messages to a logging process, which logs messages to designated
locations asynchronously to the process that generated the messages. To disable the logging
process, use the no form of this command.
Syntax
logging on
no logging on
Default Configuration

Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
• The logging process controls the distribution of logging messages to the various destinations,
such as the logging buffer, logging file or syslog server. Logging on and off for these
destinations can be individually configured using the logging buffered, logging file, and
logging Global Configuration mode commands. However, if the logging on command is
disabled, no messages are sent to these destinations. Only the console receives messages.
Example
The following example shows how logging is enabled.
console(config)# logging on
