Displaying Syslog messages for temperature
The software sends a Syslog message and an SNMP trap if the temperature crosses the warning or
shutdown thresholds. The following methods describe how to view the system log on the device. If
you have configured the device to use a Syslog server or SNMP trap receiver, see the
documentation for the server or receiver.
To display the system log, enter the show log command at any CLI level.
Brocade# show log
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 8 messages logged
level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error
I=informational N=notification W=warning
Static Log Buffer:
Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):
at 0 days 0 hours 2 minutes 0 seconds, level alert
Temperature 48.0 C degrees, warning level 45.0 C degrees, shutdown level 55.0 C
degrees
at 0 days 0 hours 1 minutes 0 seconds, level alert
Temperature 40.0 C degrees, warning level 35.0 C degrees, shutdown level 45.0 C
degrees
Changing the temperature warning level
To change the temperature at which the device sends a Syslog message and an SNMP trap, enter a
command similar to the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
Brocade# temperature warn 85
Syntax: temperature warn value
The value is the temperature warning level, in Celsius degrees. You cannot set this level higher than
the temperature shutdown level, which is automatically set by the device.
If you change the device hardware configuration (for example, by adding a fan tray), the device may
change the temperature shutdown level the next time it boots. This can result in the temperature
warning level being higher than the temperature shutdown level. If this happens, a warning
message is displayed during bootup.
Changing the temperature poll time
By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current
temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the device poll time, which also controls how often the
software polls other system components.
To change the poll time, enter a command similar to the following at the global CONFIG level:
Brocade(config)# chassis poll-time 200
Syntax: chassis poll-time value
The value can be 0 – 65535.
