Using the show log command, you would see a series of log records as shown in the following.
BigIron RX(config-bgp)# show log
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 24 messages logged
level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error

Dynamic Log Buffer (50 lines):
Sep 9 18:38:23:I:CLI CMD: "nei 10.1.1.8 remote 10" from console
Sep 9 18:38:21:I:CLI CMD: "router bgp" from console

Changing the number of entries the local buffer can hold
The number of entries that the Syslog buffer can hold cannot be changed. The buffer can hold up
to 3800 lines.
Changing the log facility
The Syslog daemon on the Syslog server uses a facility to determine where to log the messages
from the device. The default facility for messages the device sends to the Syslog server is “user”.
You can change the facility using the following command.
You can specify only one facility. If you configure the device to use two Syslog servers, the device
uses the same facility on both servers.
BigIron RX(config)# logging facility local0
