configure log target severity

configure log target [console | memory-buffer | nvram | primary-msm | primary-node | backup-msm | backup-node | session | syslog [all | ipaddress | ipPort {vr vr_name} [local0...local7 ]]] {severity severity {only}}

Description

Sets the severity level of messages sent to the target.

In a stack, this command is applicable only to Master and Backup nodes. You cannot run this command on standby nodes.

Syntax Description

console	Specifies the console display.
memory-buffer	Specifies the switch memory buffer.
nvram	Specifies the switch NVRAM.
primary-msm	Specifies the primary MSM. Note: This parameter is available only on modular switches.
primary-node	Specifies the primary node in a stack.
backup-msm	Specifies the backup MSM. Note: This parameter is available only on modular switches.
backup-node	Specifies the backup node in a stack.
session	Specifies the current session (including console display).
syslog	Specifies a syslog target.
all	Specifies all of the remote syslog servers.
`ipaddress`	Specifies the syslog IP address.
`ipPort`	Specifies the UDP port number for the syslog target.
`vr_name`	Specifies the virtual router that can reach the server IP address. Note: User-created VRs are supported only on the platforms listed for this feature in the Feature License Requirements document.
local0 ... local7	Specifies the local syslog facility.
`severity`	Specifies the least severe level to send (if the keyword only is omitted).
only	Specifies that only the specified severity level is to be sent.

Default

By default, targets are sent messages of the following severity level and above:

console display—info
memory buffer—debug-data
NVRAM—warning
session—info
syslog—debug-data
primary MSM/MM—warning (modular switches only)
backup MSM/MM—warning (modular switches only)
primary node—warning (stack only)
backup node—warning (stack only)

If a virtual router is not specified, VR-Mgmt is used.

Usage Guidelines

This command configures the specified target with a severity level. The filter associated with the target is not affected. A message is sent to a target if the target has been enabled, the message passes the associated filter, the message is at least as severe as the configured severity level, and the message output matches the regular expression specified.

See the command show log for a detailed description of severity levels.

To see the current configuration of a target, use the following command:

show log configuration target {console | memory-buffer | nvram | primary-msm | primary-node | backup-msm | backup-node | session | syslog {ipaddress |ipPort | vr vr_name} {[local0 ... local7]}}

To see the current configuration of a filter, use the following command:

show log configuration filter {filter name}

Example

The following command sends log messages to the current session, that pass the current filter at a severity level of info or greater, and contain the string user5:

configure log target session severity info
