clear logging

[mariangcisco]

Documentation says to use clear logging to clear syslog. Syntax is

clear logging {logfile | nvram}

but

switch2# clear logging ?

session Clear logging session

switch2# clear logging session

CFS distribution is not enabled for logging

What is wrong ? I am on 2.0.3, the same is on 950[69] and 9216 switches.

try, "clear logging logfile" instead of "clear logging session". The latter is for clearing a session lock, which is only applicable if Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) has been enabled to distribute the syslog config info around the fabric.

I was not clear enough - nothing else then clear logging session works

switch2# clear logging logfile

^

% invalid command detected at '^' marker.

switch2# clear logging nvram

^

% invalid command detected at '^' marker.

I'm afraid the command was forgotten in 2.0(X).

The software defect is

CSCeg30714 clear logging logfile is NOT in CLI

verified in 2.1(0.119).

"clear logging session" is for CFS session for the syslog (you are right) it is not for

MDSwithSANOS134a# clear logging ?

logfile Clear logfile messages

nvram Clear nvram logs

Thanks.

When is 2.1 due to come out ? I don't see it.

[dmcloon]

Maybe you do not have permission. Are you using user "admin" or some roles based user ?

[dmcloon]

ignore my last post, just read it was a bug. Thanks.

When will 2.1 come out ?
