Summit x460 syslog configuration help

[David31]

Hello all, I need assistance configuring syslog to work correctly with a trial software called EventLog Analyzer. I followed the instructions here:

enable syslog
configure syslog add vr local0
configure syslog vr local0 severity info
enable log target syslog :<514> vr local0

When I go to the syslog server, the only events displaying are "Setting hwclock time to system time and broadcasting time".

I thought I would be seeing alot more information. As far as the switch goes, did I enter wrong information?

Here my lab X460G2 syslog settings...

configure syslog add 172.24.24.110:514 vr VR-Mgmt local0
enable log target syslog 172.24.24.110:514 vr VR-Mgmt local0
configure log target syslog 172.24.24.110:514 vr VR-Mgmt local0 filter DefaultFilter severity Info
configure log target syslog 172.24.24.110:514 vr VR-Mgmt local0 match Any
configure log target syslog 172.24.24.110:514 vr VR-Mgmt local0 format timestamp seconds date mm/dd/yyyy event-name none tag-id tag-name

The question is what kind of messages are you looking for ?

Hello David.

here is my example config which works fine.



configure syslog add 10.0.10.57:514 vr VR-Default local0

configure log target syslog 10.0.10.57:514 vr VR-Default local0 from 10.0.10.55

enable log target syslog 10.0.10.57:514 vr VR-Default local0


I think you also need to configure the log target syslog.
