Displaying Current Application Severity Levels
To display logging severity levels for one or all applications currently running on your device:
show logging application {mnemonic|all}
Example
This example shows output from the show logging application all command. A numeric and
mnemonic value for each application is listed with the severity level at which logging has been
configured and the server(s) to which messages will be sent. In this case, logging for applications
has not been changed from the default severity level of 6. This means that notifications and
messages with severity values 6 through 1 will be sent to configured servers.

Enabling Console Logging and File Storage
Stackable and standalone switch devices allow you to display logging messages to the console and
save to a persistent file.
Console logging allows you to view only as many messages as will fit on the screen. As new
messages appear, old messages simply scroll off the console. While this is a temporary means of
logging information, it allows you to track very specific activities quickly and easily. Console log
messages can also be saved to a persistent file.
Use the following commands to review and configure console logging and file storage.
Displaying to the Console and Saving to a File
To display log messages to the console and save to a persistent file:
set logging local console enable file enable
Note: Depending on your platform, you may see different applications listed from those shown in
the following example.
