Configuring System Message Logging
This example shows part of a logging display with sequence numbers enabled:
000019: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty2 (10.34.195.36)
Defining the Message Severity Level
You can limit messages displayed to the selected device by specifying the severity level of the message,
which are described in Table 20-3.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define the message severity level:
Note Specifying a level causes messages at that level and numerically lower levels to be displayed at the
destination.
To disable logging to the console, use the no logging console global configuration command. To disable
logging to a terminal other than the console, use the no logging monitor global configuration command.
To disable logging to syslog servers, use the no logging trap global configuration command.
Table 20-3 describes the level keywords. It also lists the corresponding UNIX syslog definitions from
the most severe level to the least severe level.

By default, syslog servers receive informational messages and
numerically lower levels (see Table 20-3 on page 20-7).
