Generating System Log Messages In Emblem Format; Disabling A System Log Message - Cisco PIX 500 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 42 Monitoring the Security Appliance

Generating System Log Messages in EMBLEM Format

To use the EMBLEM format for system log messages sent to destinations other than a syslog server,
enter the following command:
hostname(config)# logging emblem
To use the EMBLEM format for system log messages sent to a syslog server over UDP, specify the
format emblem option when you configure the syslog server as an output destination. Enter the
following command:
hostname(config)# logging host interface_name ip_address {tcp[/ port ] | udp[/ port ]]
[format emblem]
Where the interface_name and ip_address specifies the syslog server to receive the system log messages,
tcp[/port] and udp[/port] indicate the protocol and port that should be used, and format emblem
enables EMBLEM formatting for messages sent to the syslog server.
The adaptive security appliance can send system log messages using either the UDP or TCP protocol;
however, you can enable the EMBLEM format only for messages sent over UDP. The default protocol
and port are UDP and 514.
For example:
hostname(config)# logging host interface_1 122.243.006.123 udp format emblem
For more information about syslog servers, see the
section on page

Disabling a System Log Message

To prevent the adaptive security appliance from generating a particular system log message, enter the
following command:
hostname(config)# no logging message message_number
For example:
hostname(config)# no logging message 113019
To reenable a disabled system log message, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# logging message message_number
For example:
hostname(config)# logging message 113019
To see a list of disabled system log messages, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# show logging message
To reenable logging of all disabled system log messages, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# clear config logging disabled
