Issue/Introduction

When a syslog server is configured on Management Center (MC), administrators often want to understand what type of logs are forwarded from Management Center to the syslog server ?

Resolution

Management Center forwards logs based on its Event Log configuration. The logs sent to the syslog server correspond to the entries visible in the MC event log view from the CLI.

• To view event log configuration connect Management Center on CLI perform below steps:
  localhost# configure t
  localhost(config)# event-log
  localhost(config-event-log)#view
  localhost(config-view)# configuration
    Log level: 5 (notice)
    Remote syslog servers:
    Syslog max size set to :10M
  
  
• To view the actual logs forwarded from MC to syslog server:
  localhost(config-view)# log

All log lines visible after log command are forwarded to the configured syslog server.
