logging

Description

Use this command to specify the IP address of the remote logging server, facility, severity, and the type. The local use facilities (local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, and local7) are not reserved for specific message-generating sources, and can be used for sending syslog messages. Use the show logging command to verify that the device sends logging messages.

There are eight logging severity levels, each with its associated types of messages. Each level also includes the levels below it. For example, if you set the logging level to informational (6), all messages from level 0 through level 5 (from emergencies through notifications) are also logged. The warnings severity level is set by default for all message categories.

Only the logging level warnings security subcat ids and logging level warnings security subcat ids-ap subcategories are enabled by default. Other subcategories are not generated by default even their severity is warning or higher.
