Diagnostic Features TABLE 20 Fabric OS to UNIX message severities Fabric OS message severity Critical (1) Error (2) Warning (3) Info (4) UNIX message severity Emergency (0) Error (3) Warning (4) Info (6) In this example, Fabric OS messages map to local7 facility level 7 in the /etc/syslog.conf file: local7.emerg local7.alert local7.crit local7.err local7.warning local7.notice local7.info local7.debug /var/adm/swcritical /var/adm/alert7 /var/adm/crit7 /var/adm/swerror /var/adm/swwarning /var/adm/notice7 /var/adm/swinfo /var/adm/debug7 If you prefer to map Fabric OS severities to a different UNIX local7 facility level, refer to Setting the facility level on page 98. Configuring the switch Configuring the switch involves specifying syslogd hosts and, optionally, setting the facility level. You can also remove a host from the list of syslogd hosts. Specifying syslogd hosts 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the syslogdIpAdd command and specify an IP address. 3. Verify that the IP address was entered correctly using the syslogdIpShow command. The syslogdIpAdd command accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You can specify up to six host IP addresses for storing syslog messages, as shown in this example: switch:admin> syslogdipadd 1080::8:800:200C:417A switch:admin> syslogdipadd 1081::8:800:200C:417A switch:admin> syslogdipadd 1082::8:800:200C:417A switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.4 switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.5 switch:admin> syslogdipadd 10.1.2.6 switch:admin> syslogdipshow syslog.IP.address.1080::8:800:200C:417A syslog.IP.address.1081::8:800:200C:417A syslog.IP.address.1082::8:800:200C:417A syslog.IP.address.4 10.1.2.4 syslog.IP.address.5 10.1.2.5 syslog.IP.address.6 10.1.2.6 Setting the facility level 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the syslogdfacility -l n command: The n variable is a number from 0 through 7, indicating a UNIX local7 facility. The default is 7. You need to set the facility level only if you specified a facility other than local7 in the host /etc/syslog.conf file. Brocade Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide 98 53-1004126-01
