Chapter 19 Syslog

This section provides information about the Syslog feature.

Syslog:

•Allows you to store system messages and/or errors

•Can store to local files on the switch or a remote server running a syslog daemon

•Method of collecting message logs from many systems

•Currently three - one for each of the last three sessions

•Each log has two parts:

•Start up log is the first 32 messages after system startup

•Operational log is the last 32 messages received after the startup log is full

•Files are stored in ASCII format

•slog0.txt - slog2.txt

•olog0.txt - olog2.txt

Where 0 is for the boot, 1 is for the last boot, 2 is for the boot before that; the third one overflows upon the next boot.

•Can be saved to local server to monitor at a later point in time
