logging history
This command enables logging of system messages to the SFTOS logging history table. Optionally,

overwritten. This log collects the same messages as the System log.

Usage
Information
When the number of messages reaches the limit you set with the logging history size command,
older messages are deleted as newer ones are added to the table.
logging host
Configure the mirroring of buffered log (also called a history table or system log) messages to a syslog
host. Up to eight hosts can be configured. Also, use this command to modify the port or logging
severity level to a configured host, or to revise or remove a host configuration.
Syntax
logging host {ipaddress [port [severitylevel]] | reconfigure host-index hostaddress | remove
host-index}

Specify the number of messages stored in the SFTOS logging history table.

Parameters
ipaddress
Enter the IP address of the target host.
[port
[
severitylevel]]
(OPTIONAL) Enter the UDP port on the target host.
Default: Port = 514
(OPTIONAL) Specify this value as either an integer from 0 to 7 or symbolically through
one of the following keywords:
emergency (0), alert (1), critical (2), error (3),
warning (4), notice (5), informational (6), debug (7). Note that the severity level
set here does not change the severity level for the system log messages saved in RAM.
Level = critical (2)
Note: Consider entering a lower severity value, because the default of critical is
a very tight filter, and your buffered log might remain empty.
