Debug and Syslog Operation

You can direct switch debug (Event log) messages to these destinations:
■ Up to six SyslogD servers
One management-access session through:
■
• A direct-connect console CLI session
• A Telnet session
• An SSH session
Debug logging requires a logging destination (SyslogD server and/or a session
type), and involves the logging and debug destination commands. Actions you
can perform with Debug and Syslog operation include:
Configure the switch to send Event Log messages to one or more SyslogD
■
servers. Included is the option to send the messages to the user log facility
(default) on the configured servers, or to another log facility.
As of May, 2003, the logging facility < facility-name > option (described on the
next page) is available only on the Series 2600 switches and the Switch 6108
running software release H.07.30 or greater. For the latest feature information
on HP ProCurve switches, visit the HP ProCurve website and check the latest
release notes covering the switch products in which you have an interest.
■ Configure the switch to send Event Log messages to the current manage­
ment-access session (serial-connect CLI, Telnet CLI, or SSH).
Disable all Syslog debug logging while retaining the Syslog addresses from
■
the switch configuration. This allows you to configure Syslog messaging
and then disable and re-enable it as needed.
■ Display the current debug configuration. If Syslog logging is currently
active, this includes the Syslog server list.
■ Display the current Syslog server list when Syslog logging is currently
disabled.
