configure syslog {add} <ipaddress> {vr <vr_name>} [local0 ... local7]

Description

target.
Syntax Description
ipaddress
vr_name
local0 ... local7
severity
Default
If a severity level is not specified, all messages are sent to the remote syslog server target. If a virtual
router is not specified, VR-Mgmt is used.
Usage Guidelines
Options for configuring the remote syslog server include:
• ipaddress—The IP address of the remote syslog server host.
• facility—The syslog facility level for local use (local0– local7).
• virtual router—The virtual router that can reach the syslog host
• severity—Filters the messages sent to the remote syslog server target to have the selected severity or
higher (more critical). Severities include critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug-summary,
debug-verbose, and debug-data.
The switch log overwrites existing log messages in a wrap-around memory buffer, which may cause
you to lose valuable information once the buffer becomes full. The remote syslog server does not
overwrite log information, and can store messages in non-volatile files (disks, for example).

server(s). Syslog is disabled by default. A total of four syslog servers can be configured at one time.
When a syslog server is added, it is associated with the filter DefaultFilter. Use the
target filter
The syslog facility level is defined as local0 – local7. The facility level is used to group syslog data.
Example
The following command configures the remote syslog server target with a critical severity:
