Configuring Logging Servers for AOS-CX

Logging allows you to add syslog servers where the event log messages related to the AOS-CX switches are saved. For each of the syslog server you add, you can configure the severity of the event logs to be saved on these servers. You can also configure the severity level for the debug logs by configuring the severity at the global level. However, you must add a minimum of one syslog server to configure the global severity level.

To configure logging servers, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Network Operations app, select one of the following options:
    • To select a group in the filter:
      1. Set the filter to a group.

        The dashboard context for the group is displayed.

      2. Under Manage, click Devices > Switches.
      3. Click the AOS-CX or Config icon to view the AOS-CX switch configuration dashboard.
    • To select a switch:
      1. Set the filter to Global or a group containing at least one switch.
      2. Under Manage, click Devices > Switches.

        A list of switches is displayed in the List view.

      3. Click an AOS-CX switch under Device Name.

        The dashboard context for the switch is displayed.

      4. Under Manage, click Device.

  2. Click System > Logging.

    The Logging page is displayed.
