System logs provide information about system events that you can use to 
monitor and troubleshoot MSS. Event messages for the WX switch and its 
attached MAPs can be stored or sent to the following destinations:

„

Stored in a local buffer on the WX

„

Displayed on the WX console port

„

Displayed in an active Telnet session

„

Sent to one or more syslog servers, as specified in RFC 3164 

The system log is a file in which the newest record replaces the oldest. 
These entries are preserved in nonvolatile memory through system 
reboots. 

Each log message contains the components shown in Table 52.

A logging destination is the location to which logged event messages are 
sent for storage or display. By default, only session logging is disabled. 
You can enable or disable logging to each destination and filter the 
messages by the severity of the logged event or condition. (For details, 
see Table 54, “Event Severity Levels,” on page 624.)
