It includes the following sections: • About System Message Logging, page 61-1 • System Message Logging Configuration, page 61-3 • Default Settings, page 61-11 About System Message Logging You can monitor system messages by clicking the Events tab on Fabric Manager or by choosing Logs > Events > Current on Device Manager. You can also monitor system messages remotely by accessing the switch through Telnet, SSH, or the console port, or by viewing the logs on a system message logging server. Note When the switch first initializes, the network is not connected until initialization completes. Therefore, messages are not redirected to a system message logging server for a few seconds. Log messages are not saved across system reboots. However, a maximum of 100 log messages with a severity level of critical and below (levels 0, 1, and 2) are saved in NVRAM. Table 61-1 describes some samples of the facilities supported by the system message logs.
