Table 32-1describes the elements of syslog messages.

Table 32-1 System Log Message Elements

Element

Description

 

 

seq no:

Stamps log messages with a sequence number only if the service sequence-numbersglobal

 

configuration command is configured.

 

For more information, see the “Enabling and Disabling Sequence Numbers in Log Messages”

 

section on page 32-8.

 

 

timestamp formats:

Date and time of the message or event. This information appears only if the service timestamps

mm/dd hh:mm:ss

log [datetime log] global configuration command is configured.

 

or

For more information, see the “Enabling and Disabling Time Stamps on Log Messages” section

on page 32-8.

hh:mm:ss (short uptime)

 

or

 

d h (long uptime)

 

 

 

facility

The facility to which the message refers (for example, SNMP, SYS, and so forth). For a list of

 

supported facilities, see Table 32-4 on page 32-14.

 

 

severity

Single-digit code from 0 to 7 that is the severity of the message. For a description of the severity

 

levels, see Table 32-3 on page 32-10.

 

 

MNEMONIC

Text string that uniquely describes the message.

 

 

description

Text string containing detailed information about the event being reported.

 

 

hostname-n

Hostname of a stack member and its switch number in the stack. Though the stack master is a stack

 

member, it does not append its hostname to system messages.

 

 

This example shows a partial switch system message for a stack master and a stack member (hostname Switch-2):

00:00:47: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/2, changed state to up (Switch-2)

00:00:48: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to down (Switch-2)

00:00:48: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1, changed state to down 2 (Switch-2)

This example shows a partial switch system message on a Catalyst 3560-E switch:

00:00:46: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Port-channel1, changed state to up

00:00:47: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up

00:00:47: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/2, changed state to up

00:00:48: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to down

00:00:48: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to down 2
