Configuring the Syslog Service
The procedures in this section describe how to perform the following Syslog configuration tasks:
• Specify a SyslogD server. You can configure the HP device to use up to six SyslogD servers. (Use of a
SyslogD server is optional. The system can hold up to 100 Syslog messages in an internal buffer.)
• Change the level of messages the system logs.
• Change the number of messages the local Syslog buffer can hold.
• Display the Syslog configuration.
• Clear the local Syslog buffer.
Logging is enabled by default, with the following settings:
• Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.
• Up to 50 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer.
• No SyslogD server is specified.
Displaying the Syslog Configuration
To display the Syslog parameters currently in effect on an HP device, enter the following command from any level
of the CLI:
Syntax:
show logging
The Syslog display shows the following configuration information, in the rows above the log entries themselves.
