1. Table 3 lists the level keywords and severity level. For SNMP usage, the severity level values increase by 1. For example, emergencies equal
1, not 0, and critical equals 3, not 2.
When the history table is full (it contains the maximum number of message entries specified with the
logging history size global configuration command), the oldest message entry is deleted from the table
to allow the new message entry to be stored.
To return the logging of syslog messages to the default level, use the no logging history global
configuration command. To return the number of messages in the history table to the default value, use
the no logging history size global configuration command.

Setting a Logging Rate Limit

You can enable a limit on the number of messages that the device logs per second. You can enable the
limit for all messages or for messages sent to the console, and you can specify that messages of a specific
severity are exempt from the limit.
To enable a logging rate limit, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 logging rate-limit seconds
[all | console]
[except severity]
Step 3
end
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
To disable the rate limit, use the no logging rate-limit global configuration command.
