Hello!

It is few ways:
1 - some like #show log | include stp
2 - use syntax "match", "events" and "severity" with "show log" command

Thank you!

Not sure why you would want to do that but this is how you would do it.

create log filter stp_logs #creates a new log filter
--------
conf log filter "stp_logs" add events stp # adds stp logs to the filter
**OR**
conf log filter "stp_logs" add events stp severity error # adds only stp error logs to the filter
---------
conf log target memory-buffer filter "stp_logs" #configure memory-buffer for stp logs only
show log configuration #confirm configuration

You will need to clear the logs and then you will only see new STP logs

Hi Boopathy,

The procedure described by Stephen should work.

create log filter stp_logs
configure log filter "stp_logs" add events STP
configure log target memory-buffer filter "stp_logs"

Please check the output for show log configuration.

That should be similar to:

Log Target : memory-buffer
Enabled : yes
Filter Name : stp_logs
Match regex : Any
Severity : Debug-Data (through Critical)
Format : MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS.hh
Buffer size : 1000 messagesIf you want to see STP debug messages, you can use enable log debug-mode. However, this command should be enabled only when advanced diagnostics is required (during troubleshooting only) due to a possible performance degradation.

STP doesn't log that much by default. Check to see if your log counters are going up, and you can add more logs to your filter. Anything with debug in front will need the command "enable log debug-mode" for it to show in the logs as Henrique mentioned.
