Syslog Commands

logging on

The logging on Global Configuration mode command controls error messages logging. This command sends debug or error messages to a logging process, which logs messages to designated locations asynchronously to the process that generated the messages. To disable the logging process, use the no form of this command.

Syntax

logging on no logging on

Default Configuration

Logging is enabled.

Command Mode

Global Configuration mode

User Guidelines

The logging process controls the distribution of logging messages to the various destinations, such as the logging buffer, logging file, or syslog server. Logging on and off for these destinations can be individually configured using the logging buffered, logging file, and logging Global Configuration mode commands. However, if the logging on command is disabled, no messages are sent to these destinations. Only the console receives messages.

Example

The following example shows how logging is enabled.

Console (config)# logging on

logging

The logging Global Configuration mode command logs messages to a syslog server. To delete the syslog server with the specified address from the list of syslogs, use the no form of this command.

Syntax

logging {ip-address hostname} [port port] [severity level] [facility facility] [description text]

no logging {ip-address hostname}

ip-address—IP address of the host to be used as a syslog server.

hostname—Hostname of the host to be used as a syslog server. (Range: 1 - 158 characters)
