Logging Levels
The following table describes logging levels.
Syslog Message table Use this table to enable or disable the generation of specific syslog
messages, or to change the severity level of a message. If you do not
want to constrict which message types are generated, or change any
message severity levels, you do not need to configure anything in this
table. The table shows the messages you have configured with the
message level and whether generation is suppressed (“true” in the
table).
• To add a rule, click the Add Row button and fill in the Add/Edit
Syslog Message Dialog Box, page 52-19.
• To edit a rule, select it and click the Edit Row button.
• To delete a rule, select it and click the Delete Row button.
Disable/Enable NetFlow
Equivalent Syslogs
If you are using NetFlow logging, you might want to disable the
generation of syslog messages that duplicate NetFlow messages. If you
click the Disable button, these duplicate syslog messages are added to
the Syslog Message table as suppressed messages, and the button is
renamed Enable NetFlow Equivalent Syslogs.
Clicking the Enable button removes the duplicate syslog messages from
the table, meaning that they will no longer be suppressed, and the
device will start sending them again. However, if you manually edited
any message that was added to the list by the Disable button, the Enable
button does not remove them.
