Log Configuration

The Log Configuration page allows administrators with the appropriate privilege level to configure the administrative mode and various settings for logging features on the switch.

To access this page, click System > Logs > Configuration in the navigation menu.

Log Configuration Fields

Field	Description
Buffered Log Configuration
Admin Mode	Enables or disables logging to the buffered (RAM) log file.
Behavior	Specifies what the device should do when the buffered log is full. It can either overwrite the oldest messages (Wrap) or stop writing new messages to the buffer (Stop on Full).
Command Logger Configuration
Admin Mode	Enables or disables logging of the command-line interface (CLI) commands issued on the device.
Console Log Configuration
Admin Mode	Enables or disables logging to any serial device attached to the host.
Severity Filter	Select the severity of the messages to be logged. All messages at and above the selected threshold are logged to the console. The severity can be one of the following: emergency (0): The device is unusable. alert (1): Action must be taken immediately. critical (2): The device is experiencing primary system failures. error (3): The device is experiencing non-urgent failures. warning (4): The device is experiencing conditions that could lead to system errors if no action is taken. notice (5): The device is experiencing normal but significant conditions. info (6): The device is providing non-critical information. debug (7): The device is providing debug-level information.
Persistent Log Configuration
Admin Mode	Enable or disable logging to the persistent log. These messages are not deleted when the device reboots.
Severity Filter	Select the severity of the messages to be logged. All messages at and above the selected threshold are logged to the console. See the previous severity filter description for more information about each severity level.
Syslog Configuration
Admin Mode	Enable or disable logging to configured syslog hosts. When the syslog admin mode is disabled the device does not relay logs to syslog hosts, and no messages will be sent to any collector/relay. When the syslog admin mode is enabled, messages will be sent to configured collectors/relays using the values configured for each collector/relay.
Protocol Version	The RFC (Request for Comment) version of the syslog protocol.
Local UDP Port	The UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port on the local host from which syslog messages are sent.

If you change any of the parameters, click Submit to apply the changes to the system. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must save the configuration.
