configure syslog {add} <host name/ip> {: <udp-port>} [local0 ... local7]
{<severity>}
Description

target.
Syntax Description
host name/ip Specifies the remote syslog server host name or IP address.
udp-port Specifies the UDP port number for the syslog target.
local0 ... local7 Specifies the local syslog facility.
severity Specifies a message severity. Severities include critical, error, warning, notice, info,
debug-summary, debug-verbose, and debug-data.
Default
If a severity level is not specified, all messages are sent to the remote syslog server target. If UDP port is
not specified, 514 is used.
Usage Guidelines
Options for configuring the remote syslog server include:
• host name/ip—The name or IP address of the remote syslog server host.
• udp-port—The UDP port
• facility (local0– local7)—The syslog facility level for local use.
• 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).
Syslog is disabled by default. The
the remote syslog server(s). A total of four syslog servers can be configured at one time.
When a syslog server is added, it is associated with the filter called DefaultFilter. Use the
command to associate a different filter.
log target filter
On "i" series switches, for version 4.0 and higher, the syslog facility level is defined as local0 – local7.
The facility level is used to group syslog data.
