10 Syslog service configuration

Displaying real-time Syslog messages

Any terminal logged on to a Brocade switch can receive real-time Syslog messages when the terminal monitor command is issued.

Syslog service configuration

The procedures in this section describe how to perform the following Syslog configuration tasks:

•Specify a Syslog server. You can configure the Brocade device to use up to six Syslog servers. (Use of a Syslog server is optional. The system can hold up to 1000 Syslog messages in an internal buffer.)

•Change the level of messages the system logs.

•Change the number of messages the local Syslog buffer can hold.

•Display the Syslog configuration.

•Clear the local Syslog buffer.

Logging is enabled by default, with the following settings:

•Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.

•By default, up to 50 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer. This can be changed.

•No Syslog server is specified.
