Viewing the Syslog ConfigurationSyntax: show debug

This command displays the currently configured Syslog logging destination(s) and logging facility. For examples of show debug output, refer to figure 5 on page 19.

Configuring Syslog Logging1.If you want to use a Syslog server for recording Event Log messages:

a.Use this command to configure the Syslog server IP address and enable Syslog logging:

ProCurve(config)# logging < ip-addr >

Using this command when there are no Syslog server IP addresses already configured enables messaging to a Syslog server.

b.Use the command in step “a” to configure any additional Syslog servers you want to use, up to a total of six.

Example: Suppose there are no Syslog servers configured on the switch (the default). Configuring one Syslog server enables Event Log messages to be sent to that server. (Refer to Figure 5 below.)

ProCurve(config)# show debug

Debug Logging

Destination: None

Enabled debug types:

None are enabled.

ProCurve(config)# logging 10.250.125.69 ProCurve(config)# show debug

Debug Logging

Destination: Logging --

10.250.125.69 Facility = user

Enabled debug types: event

Displays the default debug configuration. (There are no Syslog server IP addresses

When the logging command configures a Syslog IP address, the switch automatically enables sending Event Log messages to the Syslog address and the user facility on the Syslog server.
