Inspecting Syslog Messages in t he Log File

To inspect syslog messages by using Cisco IOS commands, Unix commands, FTP, and a web browser, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the Cisco IOS device, create basic syslog messages by entering these commands:

travis-nas-01#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. travis-nas-01(config)#^Z

travis-nas-01#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. travis-nas-01(config)#^Z

travis-nas-01#

Step 2 From the syslog server, verify that the syslog messages went in to the log file. Enter the tail -fcommand to monitor the last 10 lines of an active log file. To exit tail -f mode, press Ctrl-C.

aurora:/etc ->tail -f /var/log/router.log

Step 3 View the syslog messages in a web browser. Notice the wide horizontal scroll bar, which is helpful for viewing debug messages and modem call records.
