Related Configuration
 Enable Logging
By default, logging is enabled.
Run the logging on command to enable logging in global configuration mode. After logging is enabled, logs generated by
the system are sent in various directions for the administrator to monitor the performance of the system.
 Enabling Log Statistics
By default, log statistics is disabled.

 Enabling the RFC5424 Log Format
By default, the RFC5424 log format is disabled.
After the new format (RFC5424 log format) is enabled, the service sequence-numbers, service sysname, service
timestamps, service private-syslog, and service standard-syslog that are applicable only to the old format (RFC3164 log
format) lose effect and are hidden.
After the old format (RFC3164 log format) is enabled, the logging delay-send, logging policy, and logging statistic
commands that are applicable only to the RFC5424 log format lose effect and are hidden.
After log format switchover, the outputs of the show logging and show logging config commands change accordingly.
