Moving messages from default level to a different level

[guillermo.ruiz]

Is there a way to ''move'' some messages to a different level?

My customer needs to move some messages to a different level they currently are.

Just as an example:

How to move a message from level 5 to level 3 ?

Following message level 5 (notifications):

*Mar  1 12:16:35.005: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet1/47, changed state to down

How can I ''move'' it to be in a level 3 (errors)?, as this other message?

*Mar  1 12:19:18.573: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Port-channel1, changed state to up

Any help or ideas?

Very appreciated,

guruiz

I do not know of a way to change the level of an alert. Is there a specific reason this is needed? You should just be able to send logging level 5 to your syslog server then filter the logs there.

best regards,

Greg,

Thanks for your comments.

Our customer is filtering on syslog server just level 1 (alerts) and level 2 (critical) messages, but there are some other messages (that exist on other levels) he need to bring to these 1 and 2 levels, because they are important to him, i.e. messages level 3 (errors), 4 (warnings) and 5 (notifications).

Can we move a message from its current level to another level?

or is there a way to complete what our customer requires?

Any ideas or comments are welcome.

Thanks.

Regards,

guruiz

In regards to the syslog messages send to the HP OpenView the problem is that a higher the
level of traps it will cause the server to overload with messages so it is good to use a
different syslog level than the default please use the command bellow to check this:

logging trap level

You can set the level to 3 that is errors or 4 that is warnings. To check the levels and
extra information about the logging please check the link bellow:
