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

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.
