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 typing the set logging server command, followed by the
IP address of the server.
G350-001(super)# set logging server 147.2.3.66
Done!
2. Enable the Syslog server by typing the set logging server enable command,
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.
G350-001(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.
G350-001(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)
ftpd (FTP Daemon)
kern (Kernel)
alert (Log Alert)
audi (Log Audit)
ntp (NTP Subsystem)
lpr (Printing)
