Changes
Issued the 'show logging default' or 'show support' command.

Symptoms
The displayed Default Severity is always "debugging(8)", regardless of 'set logging default severity x' configuration.

For example:
C3(su)->show config logging
This command shows non-default configurations only.
Use 'show config all' to show both default and non-default configurations.
