Nexus 5k (5548) logging to logflash

[lgordnier]

I'm looking to setup logflash on a 5548 but having difficulty finding proper documentation. I have found a few threads/documents that show that it's likely possible. I also see output from 'show logging' mentioning it's currently disabled due to lack of a 'logflash CF'

Is this something I can just setup on any old USB stick? or is there a specific technology required for the device to identify this is an actual 'logflash' device?

    - I think logflash is not available on the 5000 model , only on 7000 and higher models ,

That is correct.

This document describes the logging capabilities available on the Nexus 7000.
