Configuring a Syslog Target

Log events cannot be sent to a syslog target host until a valid syslog ID exists.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a syslog file:

CLI Syntax:

config>log 
    syslog syslog-id
        address ip-address
        description description-string
        facility syslog-facility
        level {emergency | alert | critical | error | warning | notice | info | debug}
        log-prefix log-prefix-string
        port port

The following displays an example of the syslog file configuration command syntax:

Example:

config# log
config>log# syslog 1
config>log>syslog$ description "This is a syslog file."
config>log>syslog# address 10.10.10.104
config>log>syslog# facility user
config>log>syslog# level warning

The following displays the syslog configuration:

            facility user
