1.11.2 Viewing Logs
Use the SHOW LOG command to filter logs immediately in the output, for example to show only logs that have a
severity of CRITICAL.
1.11.3 Controlling Output of Logs
To control the output of logs the following are used:
• Log Filter - This is a filterid (usually a text string) that is associated with a Category and Severity.
• Log Output - This is an outputid (also usually a text string) that is associated with the destination for the
logs. The destination can be a terminal or SYSLOG server. The outputid can also define the log format.
By combining the two, a filterid can be created and then associated with an outputid. Figure 1-8 shows an
example configuration.
