Displaying the Syslog configuration and static and dynamic buffers
For information about configuring Syslog, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.
To display the Syslog parameters currently in effect on a system, enter the following command from
any level of the CLI.
Syntax: show logging
The Syslog display shows the following configuration information, in the rows above the log entries
themselves.
Static and dynamic buffers
The software provides two separate buffers:
• Static – logs power supply failures, fan failures, and temperature warning or shutdown
messages
• Dynamic – logs all other message types
In the static log, new messages replace older ones, so only the most recent message is displayed.
For example, only the most recent temperature warning message will be present in the log. If
multiple temperature warning messages were sent to the log, the latest one will replace the
previous one. The static buffer is not configurable.
TABLE 23 Syslog buffer configuration
This Field... Displays...
Syslog logging The state (enabled or disabled) of the Syslog buffer.
messages dropped The number of Syslog messages dropped due to user-configured filters. By default, the
software logs messages for all Syslog levels. You can disable individual Syslog levels, in
which case the software filters out messages at those levels. Each time the software
filters out a Syslog message, this counter is incremented.
flushes The number of times the Syslog buffer has been cleared by the clear logging command.
For information about clearing the Syslog buffer, refer to “Static and dynamic buffers”
on page 98.
overruns The number of times the dynamic log buffer has filled up and been cleared to hold new
entries. For example, if the buffer is set for 100 entries, the 101st entry causes an
overrun. After that, the 201st entry causes a second overrun.
level The message levels that are enabled. Each letter represents a message type and is
identified by the key (level code) below the value. If you disable logging of a message
level, the code for that level is not listed.
messages logged The total number of messages that have been logged since the software was loaded.
level code The message levels represented by the one-letter codes.
