Syslog viewing current and historical.

[SpongeRob]

We have PI2.0 installed and working well.  What is the best avenue for viewing syslog current and historical ?

We are currently logging to another platform and use Kiwi & Cygwin to view them.

Hi,

PI 2.0 still does not have complete support of syslogs.

AFAIK , Upcoming release of PI will have the complete support of syslogs and you should be able to view all the syslogs from PI.

Thanks-

Afroz

Some of our Customers in CSC has found a tweak to get all syslog sev levels by this :

Syslog is working on  PI2.0. by default Prime only accepts the severity 0 and 1. you will need  to modify a file in PI 2.0 to allow prime to accept Syslog messages.

change following file

/opt/CSCOlumos/conf/syslog_sev_filter.xml file (Bold lines have been added here):

<expression op='OR'>

        <!-- Error -->

        <condition field='severity' op='EQUALS' value='0' />

        <condition field='severity' op='EQUALS' value='1' />

        <condition field='severity' op='EQUALS' value='2' />

        <condition field='severity' op='EQUALS' value='3' />

        <condition field='severity' op='EQUALS' value='4' />

        <condition field='severity' op='EQUALS' value='5' />

        <condition field='severity' op='EQUALS' value='6' />

</expression>

**NOTE: THIS IS NOT CISCO TESTED. BUT SEEMS TO BE WORKING FOR MANY.
