Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Clearing log entries, Time stamps

10 Syslog service configuration

Brocade#show logging

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns) Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 3 messages logged

level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error I=informational N=notification W=warning

Static Log Buffer:

Dec 15 19:04:14:A:Fan 1, fan on right connector, failed

Dec 15 19:00:14:A:Fan 2, fan on left connector, failed

Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):

Dec 15 18:46:17:I:Interface ethernet 4, state up

Dec 15 18:45:21:I:Bridge topology change, vlan 4095, interface 4, changed state to forwarding

Dec 15 18:45:15:I:Warm start

Notice that the static buffer contains two separate messages for fan failures. Each message of each type has its own buffer. Thus, if you replace fan 1 but for some reason that fan also fails, the software replaces the first message about the failure of fan 1 with the newer message. The software does not overwrite the message for fan 2, unless the software sends a newer message for fan 2.

Clearing log entries

When you clear log entries, you can selectively clear the static or dynamic buffer, or you can clear both. For example, to clear only the dynamic buffer, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level.

Brocade#clear logging dynamic-buffer

Syntax: clear logging [dynamic-buffer static-buffer]

You can specify dynamic-bufferto clear the dynamic buffer or static-bufferto clear the static buffer. If you do not specify a buffer, both buffers are cleared.

Time stamps

The contents of the time stamp differ depending on whether you have set the time and date on the onboard system clock:

•If you have set the time and date on the onboard system clock, the date and time are shown in the following format.

mm dd hh:mm:ss

where

•mm – abbreviation for the name of the month

•dd – day

•hh – hours

•mm – minutes

•ss – seconds

For example, “Oct 15 17:38:03” means October 15 at 5:38 PM and 3 seconds.
