Chapter 62 Configuring Logging Policies
Syslog Logging Setup Policy Page
Logging Buffer Defines whether log messages are saved locally to a buffer on the
device.
• Enable Buffer—When selected, log messages are saved to a buffer
on the device. This is the default. When deselected, a log buffer is
not maintained on the device.
• Buffer Size—The size of the buffer in bytes. Valid values range
from 4096 to 4294967295 bytes (4 kilobytes to 4 gigabytes). The
default size varies by platform. Make sure not to make the buffer
so large that the router runs out of memory for other tasks;
otherwise, deployment might fail.
Note The maximum buffer size might be smaller on some devices.
• Severity Level—The lowest severity level of messages that are
saved in the buffer. All messages of this severity and greater are
saved. On most Cisco IOS routers, the default severity level is 7
(debugging). Severity levels are identified by a name and a number.
For more information, see Table 62-1 on page 62-4.
• Use XML Format—When selected, log messages are saved to a
buffer in XML format. (You can configure both the regular buffer
and the XML buffer in the same policy.) When deselected, an XML
buffer is not maintained on the device.
• Buffer Size—The size of the XML buffer in bytes. Valid values
range from 4096 to 4294967295 bytes (4 kilobytes to 4 gigabytes).
Note The maximum buffer size might be smaller on some devices.
Tip To restore the router’s default buffer settings, select Enable
Trap, erase the buffer size setting, then select the blank setting
from the Severity Level list.
