Understanding System Message Logging
By default, devices send the output from system messages and debug privileged EXEC commands to a
logging process. The logging process controls the distribution of logging messages to various
destinations, such as the logging buffer, terminal lines, or a UNIX syslog server, depending on your
configuration. The process also sends messages to the console.
The syslog format is compatible with 4.3 BSD UNIX.
Note
When the logging process is disabled, messages are sent only to the console. The messages are sent as
they are generated, so message and debug output are interspersed with prompts or output from other
commands. Messages are displayed on the console after the process that generated them has finished.
You can set the severity level of the messages to control the type of messages displayed on the console
and each of the destinations. You can timestamp log messages or set the syslog source address to enhance
real-time debugging and management.
You can access logged system messages by using the command-line interface (CLI) or by saving them
to a properly configured syslog server. The device saves syslog messages in an internal buffer. You can
remotely monitor system messages by accessing the WMIC through Telnet or by viewing the logs on a
syslog server.
