ASA Console and SSH logging

[mahesh18]

Hi Everyone,

On my ASA  i have enabled logging to

Internal Buffer

syslog servers

ASDM   only.

However when i have console connection to ASA  and i do sh log   it shows all the log messages

Same thing happens when i ssh to ASA  and do sh log it  shows all the log messages.

Logging to destination console and ssh is disabled.

Need to undertstand if console and ssh logging is disabled why i see log messages when i do sh log  on console and ssh connection to ASA ?

Regards

Mahesh

HI Mahesh,

You have mentioned that you have logging enabled to ASA Internal Buffers. If this is the case what you are seeing is expected behaviour.

If you dont want to see any logs when typing "sh log" the you will have to disable the logging to your internal buffer with the command "no logging buffered".

Hope that help.

Hi Najaf,

I did no logging buffered.

then under ASDM  i config the logging for SSH  session and it showed  this command send to cli

logging monitor debugging

Now i have ssh session to ASA  and sh log does not show any log is this also default behaviour?

So when we run the command no logging buffered  then is there way that we can see the logs when we have console

and ssh session to ASA?

Hi Mahesh,

If you disable the logging with "no logging buffered" there is no way for you to see the logs with the command "show logs". But when you enable loggin for SSH and you still have "no logging buffered" you should be able to see the logs as and when it happens with the help of "terminal monitor" command.

In short when you have "no logging buffered" enabled the logs are not stored on the buffers and hence you will not be able to see them with "show logs" and you will be able to see them live with the terminal monitor command enabled.

Hope that helps.
