Syslog outbound logging filtering on 4507

[Vadym Belyayev]

Hello all

How can I filter outbound syslog messages, so they include only configuration changes messages..

On Cisco 2900 I used:

logging discriminator CFGLOG msg-body includes "PARSER" | "CONFIG"

logging host x.x.x.x discriminator CFGLOG

logging x.x.x.x

How can I do the same on 4507?

This feature on cisco routers is called "Reliable Delivery and Filtering for Syslog" and is available for 12.4(11)T  and 12.2(33)SRB (7600)

I am running Version 12.2(25)EWA6 on my Catalyst, so it is not available.

The software I am using is a simple solarwinds syslog server.

Thank you!

Unfortunately your older software (ca. 2006) does not support that feature.

I can't find a release note specific to the 4507 but I just logged into one running current software (IOS-XE 3.04 / IOS 15.1(2)) and it does support the feature:

(config)#logging discriminator ?

  WORD  discriminator name; string; max. 8 characters

(config)#logging discriminator test ?

  facility    Facility pattern for messsage filtering

  mnemonics   Mnemonics pattern for messsage filtering

  msg-body    Msg-body pattern for messsage filtering

  rate-limit  Rate-limit value for messsage rate control

  severity    Severity group for messsage filtering

(config)#logging discriminator test msg-body includes ?

  LINE  Specify a regular expression string for message filtering

(config)#end

Thank you very much Marvin, I will try to get a more advanced syslog server, maybe I will be able to filter on the server itself!
