Enabling and Disabling Logging
This section describes how to enable and disable logging on the security appliance. It includes the
following sections:

Enabling Logging to All Configured Output Destinations
The following command enables logging; however, you must also specify at least one output destination
so that you can view or save the logged messages. If you do not specify an output destination, the security
appliance does not save system log messages generated when events occur.
For more information about configuring log output destinations, see the “Configuring Log Output
Destinations” section on page 42-7.
To enable logging, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# logging enable
Disabling Logging to All Configured Output Destinations
To disable all logging to all configured log output destinations, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# no logging enable

hostname(config)# show logging
