Logging buffer sizes on ACE 4710

net-harry
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

We are using Cisco ACE 4710 with the Admin and one other context defined.

We are both logging to syslog servers and to the local buffer for both contexts.

Currently only a few lines are logged in the Admin context buffer. When I issue a show logging command I get the following output:

ACE1/Admin# show logging

Syslog logging: enabled

Facility: 23

History logging: enabled (level- warnings)

Trap logging: enabled (level - information)

Timestamp logging: enabled

Fastpath logging: disabled

Persist logging: disabled

Standby logging: disabled

Rate-limit logging: disabled (min - 0 max 100000 msgs/sec)

Console logging: enabled (level - critical)

Monitor logging: enabled (level - warnings)

Logging to x.x.x.x udp/514

Logging to x.x.x.x udp/514

Device ID: hostname "ACE1"

Message logging:

Buffered logging: enabled (level - information) maximum size 4096

Buffer info: current size - 4096 global pool - 1048576 used pool - 1048576

min - 0 max - 4096

cur ptr = 2202 wrapped - yes

If I issue the same command in the other context I get the following information:

ACE1/CONTEXT# show logging

Syslog logging: enabled

Facility: 23

History logging: enabled (level- warnings)

Trap logging: enabled (level - information)

Timestamp logging: enabled

Fastpath logging: disabled

Persist logging: disabled

Standby logging: disabled

Rate-limit logging: disabled (min - 0 max 100000 msgs/sec)

Console logging: enabled (level - critical)

Monitor logging: enabled (level - warnings)

Logging to x.x.x.x udp/514

Logging to x.x.x.x udp/514

Device ID: hostname "ACE1"

Message logging:

Buffered logging: enabled (level - information) maximum size 1044480

Buffer info: current size - 1044480 global pool - 1048576 used pool - 1048576

min - 0 max - 1044480

cur ptr = 73251 wrapped - yes

It seems like the log buffer for the Admin context is only 4096 bytes and in the other context it is 1044480 bytes. Is there a way to specify the buffer size for the different contexts?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Harry

Harry,

the logging buffer is a resource.

Like all other resources, you can allocate a min and a max.

switch/Admin(config-resource)# limit-resource buffer syslog ?

minimum Set minimum limit
