Configuring System Message Logging
This chapter describes how to configure system message logging on Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches.
It includes the following sections:
• About System Message Logging, page 61-1
• System Message Logging Configuration, page 61-3
• Default Settings, page 61-11
About System Message Logging
You can monitor system messages by clicking the Events tab on Fabric Manager or by choosing Logs >
Events > Current on Device Manager. You can also monitor system messages remotely by accessing
the switch through Telnet, SSH, or the console port, or by viewing the logs on a system message logging
server.
Note When the switch first initializes, the network is not connected until initialization completes. Therefore,
messages are not redirected to a system message logging server for a few seconds.
Log messages are not saved across system reboots. However, a maximum of 100 log messages with a
severity level of critical and below (levels 0, 1, and 2) are saved in NVRAM.
Table 61-1 describes some samples of the facilities supported by the system message logs.
