You can set a Severity of between 0 (most severe) and 7 (least severe). Setting a Severity of 7 will result in all persistent messages being sent to the Event Log. However, if you set a Severity of 4, only messages with a Severity between 0 and 4 will be sent to the Event Log. To find out the current Severity level set for the AP, use the following command:
Suppose you only want to retrieve messages with a Severity of 5 or more, use the following CLI command:
Specify the Depth of the Event Log
The value specified for Depth determines the number of log entries that can be saved to NVRAM. You can save up to a maximum of 128 entries. To determine the current Depth setting, use the following command:
Suppose you want to limit the Depth of the log entries saved to NVRAM to 99. Use the following CLI command to do this.
Enable Remote Logging and Specify the Log Relay Host for the Log
The Log is a list of system messages, such as error conditions like dropping frames. To capture Access Point Log messages you need access to a remote syslog server on the network. The following sections describe how to set up remote logging for the AP.

Prerequisites for Remote Logging
To capture Log messages from the access point system, you must first set up a remote server running a syslog process and acting as a syslog "log relay host" on your network. (For information on how to set up the remote server, see “Setting Up the Log Relay Host”.)
Then, you can use the CLI to configure the
