Usage Guidelines

This command starts sending messages to the specified target. By default, the memory-buffer, NVRAM, primary node, and backup node targets are enabled. Other targets must be enabled before messages are sent to those targets.

Configuration changes to the session target are in effect only for the duration of the console display or Telnet session, and are not saved in FLASH. Others are saved in FLASH.

You can also use the following command to enable displaying the log on the console: enable log display

This command is equivalent to the enable log target console-display command.

Example

The following example enables log messages on the current session:

enable log target session
