Log target with match reqular expression

StephanH — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 20:28:00 GMT

Hello,

I want to send special log events to a separate syslog facility (I want to grep special words in the log message).

I thought this can be realized with this command:

"conf log target syslog 192.168.1.1 vr "VR-Default" local7 match *info"

Where "info" can be any regex.

But I always get: "No targets were configured as none matched the given criteria!"

Tested on different XOS-Switches with Version 16.2.1.6 and 16.1.3.6

Any ideas?

Best regards
Stephan

Here a basic syslog setup of my switch - could you post your syslog configuration or did you only use that one command....

Hello Ron,

sometimes one cannot see the wood for the trees.

The local7 sould be local1.

I saw it with your command: "sh log conf target syslog"

Now it works:

Here what I configured:

ena cli-config-logging

sh config | i syslog
configure syslog add 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local1
enable log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local1
configure log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local1 filter DefaultFilter severity Debug-Data
configure log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local1 match facility
configure log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local1 format timestamp seconds date Mmm-dd event-name none priority host-name tag-name
configure syslog add 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local7
enable log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local7
configure log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local7 filter DefaultFilter severity Debug-Data
configure log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local7 match Any
configure log target syslog 192.168.1.1:514 vr VR-Default local7 format timestamp seconds date Mmm-dd event-name none priority host-name tag-name

and what I got:

If I "create vlan facility" I receive two syslog messages one for match facility and one for match any
If I "create vlan test" I received one syslog message for match any

That's what I want.

Thank you Ron
