Using Syslog Messaging to Monitor Router
114088 Rev. A C-23
Managing Syslog on a Router
Once you finish configuring Syslog on a router, you may occasionally need to
• Disable or re-enable the entire Syslog entity on the router. (Refer in this
section to “Disa
bling or Re-enabling Syslog on the Router.”)
• Disable or re-enable a Syslog host or filter on the router. (Refer in this section
to “Disa
bling or Re-enabling Syslog Hosts or Filters.”)
• Delete remote hosts or entity filters from the current Syslog configuration.
(Refer in this section to “Deleting Remote Hosts or Entity F
ilters from the
Syslog Configuration.”)
• Delete Syslog from the router. (Refer in this section to “Deleting Syslo
g from
the Router.”)
Disabling or Re-enabling Syslog on the Router
You can, if necessary, disable the Syslog service anytime after enabling it on a
router. Enter the following command line to disable Syslog:
$: set wfSyslog.wfSyslogDisable.0 2;commit
Disabling Syslog on the router
• Transitions all Syslog hosts and their filters to an INACTIVE operational state
in the router configuration
• Halts all message forwarding from Syslog to any Syslog hosts configured on
the router
You can also re-enable Syslog after disabling it on a router. Enter the following
command line to re-enable Syslog:
$: set wfSyslog.wfSyslogDisable.0 1;commit
Re-enabling Syslog on the router
• Transitions Syslog hosts and their filters to an ACTIVE operational state in
the router configuration. (Only n Syslog host entries transition to the ACTIVE
state, where n = the value of wfSyslogMaxHosts.)
• Resumes all message forwarding from Syslog to Syslog hosts configured on
the router. (Syslog forwards messages to n hosts only, where n = the value of
wfSyslogMaxHosts.)
