Specifying a Log File Destination Chapter 4 Using the CSS Logging Features Specifying a Host for a Log File Destination To send CSS log information to a syslog daemon running on the host system, use the logging host command. The syslog daemon receives and displays the CSS log messages on the host system. The syntax for this configuration mode command is: logging host ip_or_host facility number log-level number The options and variables for this command are as follows: • ip_or_host - Specifies the address of a syslog daemon on the host. Enter the IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1) or the mnemonic host name (for example, myhost.mydomain.com). • facility number - Specifies the syslog daemon facility level. Facilities are considered service areas, such as printing, e-mail, or network. Enter a number from 0 to 7. For more information on the syslog daemon and facility levels, refer to your syslog daemon documentation. • log-level number - Specifies the level of the CSS subsystem log messages to be sent to the syslog daemon on the host. The valid log levels for the CSS include: fatal-0, alert-1, critical-2, error-3, warning-4 (default), notice-5, info-6, debug-7. The logging levels are listed in order of severity, with a fatal-0 level being the most severe error and an info-6 level being the least severe error. Refer to Table 4-4 for a definition of the different logging levels. The logging host log-level number must be equal to or less than the log level you configure for the logging subsystem command (see the "Configuring Logging for a Subsystem" section). If the log-level value is less than the logging subsystem level, the CSS only sends the message level specified in the log-level option. If the log-level is greater than the logging subsystem level, the CSS only sends the level of messages specified in the logging subsystem command. The CSS continues to send log information to the sys.log file on the CSS disk (hard or Flash disk) when the logging host command is entered. To disable logging to the sys.log file on the CSS disk, use the logging to-disk disable command (see the "Disabling Logging to the sys.log File on the Disk" section). 4-16 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide OL-5647-02

Specifying a Host for a Log File Destination

To send CSS log information to a syslog daemon running on the host system, use

the

logging host

command. The syslog daemon receives and displays the CSS log

messages on the host system.

The syntax for this configuration mode command is:

logging host

ip_or_host

facility

number

log-level

number

The options and variables for this command are as follows:

•

ip_or_host

- Specifies the address of a syslog daemon on the host. Enter the

IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1) or the

mnemonic host name (for example, myhost.mydomain.com).

•

facility

number

- Specifies the syslog daemon facility level. Facilities are

considered service areas, such as printing, e-mail, or network. Enter a number

from 0 to 7. For more information on the syslog daemon and facility levels,

refer to your syslog daemon documentation.

•

log-level

number

- Specifies the level of the CSS subsystem log messages to

be sent to the syslog daemon on the host. The valid log levels for the CSS

include: fatal-0, alert-1, critical-2, error-3, warning-4 (default), notice-5,

info-6, debug-7. The logging levels are listed in order of severity, with a

fatal-0 level being the most severe error and an info-6 level being the least

severe error. Refer to

Table 4-4

for a definition of the different logging levels.

The

logging host log-level

number

must be equal to or less than the log level

you configure for the

logging subsystem

command (see the

“Configuring

Logging for a Subsystem”

section). If the log-level value is less than the

logging subsystem level, the CSS only sends the message level specified in

the

log-level

option. If the log-level is greater than the logging subsystem

level, the CSS only sends the level of messages specified in the

logging

subsystem

command.

The CSS continues to send log information to the sys.log file on the CSS disk

(hard or Flash disk) when the

logging host

command is entered. To disable

logging to the sys.log file on the CSS disk, use the

logging to-disk disable

command (see the

“Disabling Logging to the sys.log File on the Disk”

section).
