The syslog (short for System Log) contains all log messages from the system's
internal software. Processes add informational messages to this log as they run, as
well as error messages of varying severities. For an alphabetical list of syslog
messages, see the Log
The syslog is rotated by the system whenever it exceeds 20 Megabytes. The rotation
process renames the current syslog file "syslog.1.log," the current syslog.1.log
becomes syslog.2.log, and so on. The oldest log kept is syslog.10.log; older logs are
deleted. To see a list of all syslogs on the current system, use the
show logs
For example, this command is run on a system with an active syslog and no backups:
bstnA6k(cfg)# show logs
