I was able to send syslog messages from the Cisco 877 and the Dell PowerConnect 3524 to a Kiwi Syslog Daemon 8.3.2 . I executed several commands in the router and switch, so the syslog sever could receive syslog messages .The sylog server groups the messages as :Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Informational, Notice and Debug .I was able to generate notice and informational messages. With a reload of the router,When commands are executed in the Global Configuration mode and When saving the configuration file the switch give a informational and notice message
What command can I use inorder to generate Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning messages. Any suggestions ???
Hrm... Syslog messages should be hierarchical, meaning setting it to Info or Debug should get you all of the messages higher than that. So theoretically you should be seeing warning and above if you're already seeing notice and info.
It should be as simple as:
config term
logging host x.x.x.x
logging traps 7 (if you want everything)
The only thing of note for Cisco routers that I have seen is that they do not log configuration change messages by default, and it's not very intuitive to enable these messages to be syslog'd. Here's the most basic setup for enabling the logging of configuration changes to a remote log server:
archive
log config
logging enable
notify syslog
Anyway, I hope I helped, but if not, please post the relevant parts of your show run command (anything that starts with logging) also your show logging command minus any buffered syslog messages.
