Chapter 18 Configuring System Message Logging
Configuring System Message Logging
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the level and history table size
defaults:
When the history table is full (it contains the maximum number of message entries specified with the
logging history size
global configuration command), the oldest message entry is deleted from the table
to allow the new message entry to be stored.
To return the logging of syslog messages to the default level, use the
no logging history
global
configuration command. To return the number of messages in the history table to the default value, use
the
no logging history size
global configuration command.
Setting a Logging Rate Limit
You can enable a limit on the number of messages that the bridge logs per second. You can enable the
limit for all messages or for messages sent to the console, and you can specify that messages of a specific
severity are exempt from the limit.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable a logging rate limit:
To disable the rate limit, use the
no logging rate-limit
global configuration command.
