Troubleshooting
Using Logging To Identify Problem Sources
C-26
Configuring the Switch To Send Debug Messages to One or More
SyslogD Servers. Use the logging command to configure the switch to send
Syslog messages to a SyslogD server, or to remove a SyslogD server from the
switch configuration.
Syntax: [no] logging < syslog-ip-address | facility < facility-name >>
< syslog-ip-address >
If there are no SyslogD servers configured, logging
enters a SyslogD server IP address and automatically
enables Syslog logging to the server. If at least one
SyslogD server is already configured and Syslog logging
has been disabled, you can still use logging < syslog-ip-
addr > to add another SyslogD server, but Syslog logging
remains disabled until you re-enable it with the debug
destination logging command. While Syslog logging is
enabled, the switch attempts to send Syslog messages to
all configured SyslogD server addresses, and operates
regardless of whether session logging is also enabled.
(Default: none; Range: 1 - 6 IP addresses)
facility < facility-name >
The logging facility specifies the destination subsystem
the SyslogD server(s) must use. (All configured SyslogD
servers must use the same subsystem.) HP recommends
the default (user) subsystem unless your application
specifically requires another subsystem. Options
include:
user (the default) - Random user-level messages
kern - Kernel messages
mail - Mail system
daemon - system daemons
auth - security/authorization messages
syslog - messages generated internally by Syslog
lpr - line printer subsystem
news - netnews subsystem
uucp - uucp subsystem
cron - cron/at subsystem
sys9 - cron/at subsystem
sys10 through sys14 - Reserved for system use
local0 through local7 - Reserved for system use
(For applicable switches, refer to the Note on page
C-25.)
