Console screen for ASA showing too many messages?

whiteford · ‎10-21-2008

Hi,

I have ASA 5520 and when I log into the CLI there is a constant filter of logs coming in, so many I can do anything. What do I need to stop these and maybe jsut show critical issues and not rules being triggered etc?

Thanks

It looks loggs is set up to be sent to you ssh/telnet session..

you can turn it off by command

no logging monitor

You can do same for console (if its on)

no logging console

Remember its still useful to have some logs send to syslog server or to buffer

Consult this page for more information

Hope that helps rate if it does

Does anyone have a solution? The attached suggestions don't work.

If you are logging via console (serial) then you can either adjust the logging level for console:

logging console 3 or 4

OR turn it off altogether.

no logging console

If you telnet/ssh into the box then its:

logging monitor ...

and to turn it off/on temporarily you can use:

terminal no monitor

terminal monitor

I saw this issue on consoles session of my Cisco ASA and the issue was that a debug command was being run on one of the firewall contexts. If you can find which context is running the debug, then you can run the following command.

no logging console debugging

After running this command on the correct context, my console session went back to normal.

Good Luck
