Enabling real-time display of Syslog messages

By default, to view Syslog messages generated by a Brocade ICX 6650 device, you need to display the Syslog buffer or the log on a Syslog server used by the Brocade ICX 6650 device.

You can enable real-time display of Syslog messages on the management console. When you enable this feature, the software displays a Syslog message on the management console when the message is generated. However, to enable display of real-time Syslog messages in Telnet or SSH sessions, you also must enable display within the individual sessions.

To enable real-time display of Syslog messages, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.

Brocade(config)#logging console

Syntax: [no] logging console

This command enables the real-time display of Syslog messages on the serial console. You can enter this command from the serial console or a Telnet or SSH session.

Enabling real-time display for a Telnet or SSH session

To also enable the real-time display for a Telnet or SSH session, enter the following command from the Privileged EXEC level of the session.

telnet@Brocade#terminal monitor Syslog trace was turned ON

Syntax: terminal monitor

Notice that the CLI displays a message to indicate the status change for the feature. To disable the feature in the management session, enter the terminal monitor command again. The command toggles the feature on and off.

telnet@Brocade#terminal monitor Syslog trace was turned OFF

Here is an example of how the Syslog messages are displayed.

telnet@Brocade#terminal		monitor
Syslog trace was turned		ON	on	left connector, failed
SYSLOG: <9>Brocade, Power supply 2, power supply
SYSLOG: <14>Brocade,	Interface ethernet 6, state		down
SYSLOG: <14>Brocade,	Interface ethernet 2, state		up
