Hey guys,
I have a question about syslog messages. When syslog messages are received on a syslog server, they usually look like this:
<syslog-count>: <sequence-number>: <timestamp>:%<facility>-<severity>-<mnemonic>:<message-text>
For example: 24:000024:02:18:37:%SYS-5-CONFIG_I:Configured from console by console
I want to get rid of <syslog-count> and <sequence-number> values. I've found a way to omit the <sequence-number> value by using the "no service sequence-numbers" global configuration command. But I still can't find a way to get rid of the <syslog-count> value. I tried to use Embedded Syslog Manager (ESM), but no luck. If someone knows how to do that your help will be greatly appreciated.

Configure the following:
no logging message-counter syslog

Hello... I have the exact same problem, but unfortunately on a IOS Version 12.2(18)SXF7 fitted at a cisco WS-C6509-E (R7000)... the command "no logging message-counter syslog" is not available on this IOS version... any ideas on how-to disable syslog message counter?
Thank you and regards

without seeing a syslog message as an example, I can just assume that you don't have syslog message counters enabled, but only sequence numbers. Try
no service sequence-numbers
to get rid of them.

I was just going to say that :-).

yep, sure...
here the log message received:
Feb 16 17:01:41 172.22.1.1 78: 000096: Feb 16 17:01:05: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by admin onvty0 (172.22.3.22)
78 is the number I want to get ride of.
the syslog message should be received like this [ taken from a C2960 with IOS 12.2(55)SE1 ]:
Feb 16 17:00:38 172.21.1.11 : 038306: Feb 16 17:00:37: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/4, changed state to up
on the 2960 the no logging message-counter syslog
did the job

the "no service sequence-numbers" removed the sequence number
log w/service sequence-numbers
Feb 16 17:01:41 172.22.1.1 78: 000096: Feb 16 17:01:05: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by admin onvty0 (172.22.3.22)
log w/no service sequence-numbers
Feb 16 17:09:33 172.22.1.1 79: Feb 16 17:08:57: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by admin onvty0 (172.22.3.22)
