Sending Event Messages to Log Targets

You can specify seven types of targets to receive log messages:

• Console display
• Current session (Telnet or console display)
• Memory buffer (can contain 200 to 20,000 messages)
• NVRAM (messages remain after reboot)
• Primary node (for SummitStack)
• Backup node (for SummitStack)
• Syslog server, supports IPv6 address family as of ExtremeXOS 21.1

The first six targets exist by default; but before enabling any syslog host, you must add the host's information to the switch using the configure syslog command. Extreme Management Center or Ridgeline can be a syslog target.

By default, the memory buffer and NVRAM targets are already enabled and receive messages.
