Hi,

Please configiure the loggin like below.

set logging server 10.10.10.100 -->add to System logging server
set logging server facility local5 -->System logging server facility set to
set logging server severity 5 -->System logging server severity set to <5>
You can set the all up to seven severities
set logging server enable -->System logging messages will be sent to the configured syslog servers

The above config should work for your, if not then try the below one also.

archive
log config
  logging enable
  logging size 500
  notify syslog
  hidekeys

logging 10.10.10.10

Hi

Thanks for the reply..

we tried with all severity levels but the same s not coming under any severity...the logs just says config changes has been done by vty-x user...the interface going down/coming up or interface shut/no shut is not reflected in the log..

any other suggestion please let me know..

DO you want to see logs when interface(s) goes up/down?  Then add the command "logging event link-status" in every interface you want.
