Configuring syslog server for Nexus 5000

[AaronJAnderson]

I have some Nexus 5000 switches that I would like to log to a remote syslog server. I have been reading the documentation @ http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration/guide/cli_rel_4_0_1a/sm_syslog.html

On this page these are the config lines they instruct to use:

switch(config)# logging server 172.28.254.254 5 local3

With "5" being the severity level and "local3" being the outgoing facility.

If level 5 is chosen, does that log levels 0 through 5? Levels 6 and 7 are described as "information message ONLY" and "appears during debugging ONLY" - so if 6 is chosen, does that mean 0 through 6? or just 6?

Also, I'm not sure I understand the facility part... any help there would be appreciated.

A lower number in severity indicates higher severity so if you choose 6 that monitors 0-6 severity levels of facility specified. Facility can be specified using "logging level " command. You can see defaul facility levels using show logging level command
