Retaining system logging message history after reboot

Keith Rance

Folks, for some reason I am unable to retain the system message logging and config archive references after a reboot of the router. I need to be able track config changes and retain the ability for the customer to recover the original config should they destroy the config through any misguided fiddling on their part. There is no remote management and these router need to be recoverable. I know this used to configured by default on earlier routers as I've checked on teh ones we have, but checking through the configuration has not helped and i have everything configured the same but system messages are still lost on reboot. Im using Cisco 3845 running IPbase 12.4(3) and the config i have is shown below.   anyone any ideas????

Logging buffered 4096 debugging

no logging console

Archive

Log config

  Logging enable

  Logging size 100

  Notify syslog

  Hidekeys

Path flash:archive-config

!

Logging history size 200

Logging facility local6

Many thanks

Keith

If you are depending on logging buffered and show log to see a record of changes there is not a way to preserve the log messages over a reboot. The logging buffer is recreated (empty) at boot time. If you need to maintain the log messages over a reboot then you need to have a log server to which you send the log messages.
