Specifying a Log File Destination Chapter 4 Using the CSS Logging Features Specifying a Log File on the Disk To send log information to a specific file on the CSS disk, use the logging disk command. Specify a log filename. Enter a text string from 0 to 32 characters. The filename can be new or an existing name. For example: (config)# logging disk stubs When you specify the logging disk command, the CSS: • Stops writing default log information to the sys.log file • Creates the filename you specify in the disk log directory • Sends subsystem and level information to the log file specified You can have only one active log file on the disk at a time. If you wish to send subsystem information to a different log file on the disk, reenter the logging disk command with a different filename. Caution Logging to a CSS disk causes the performance of the CSS to degrade. To stop logging to the specified file and reenable logging to the sys.log file on the CSS, enter: (config)# no logging disk Disabling Logging to the sys.log File on the Disk Disabling logging to the sys.log file is useful when you want to prevent excessive writes to the CSS disk (for example, to the Flash disk) or to increase the performance of the CSS. Use the logging to-disk command to disable logging to the sys.log file on the CSS disk (hard or Flash). 4-14 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide OL-5647-02
