Switch Management Commands 2132
SYSLOG Commands
The Dell EMC Networking supports a centralized logging service with
support for local in-memory logs, crash dump logs, and forwarding messages
to syslog servers. All switch components use the logging service. Components
log messages to the logging component using one of the following severity
levels:
• Emergency (0): system is unusable
• Alert (1): action must be taken immediately
• Critical (2): critical conditions
• Error (3): error conditions
• Warning (4): warning conditions
• Notice(5): normal but significant conditions
• Informational(6): informational messages
• Debug(7): debug-level messages
CLI Logged to Local File and SYSLOG Server
The Dell EMC Networking Command Logging component logs all command
line interface commands issued on the system. The command log messages
are stored with the other system logs and provide the system operators with a
detailed log of the commands executed.
CLI command logging is configured through any of the Dell EMC
Networking management interfaces. When the feature is enabled, all CLI
commands are logged using the existing logging service. By default, CLI
command logging is disabled.
Dell EMC Networking supports both RFC 3164 and RFC 5424 logging to
remote SYSLOG servers.
The CLI command logging severity is set to SEVERITY_NOTICE. The
logging severity is not modifiable by the administrator.
For example, the CLI log message for the user admin is:
<189> JAN 10 18:59:09 10.27.21.22-2 CMDLOGGER[209809328]:
cmd_logger_api.c(83) 367 %% CLI:EIA-232:----:configure
<190> JAN 10 18:59:17 10.27.21.22-2 CLI_WEB[209809328]:
cmd_logger_api.c(260) 369 %% [CLI:----:EIA-232] Access level of user admin
has been set to 15
