Syslog config doesn't seem to work for NX-OS

[Sebastian Hagedorn]

Hi,

we've been using IOS for a long time, but are relatively new to NX-OS. We've got a central syslog server that all our devices log to. No matter what we do, we can't get our Nexus switches to log there. Here's my current attempt:

Nexus 7009, NX-OS 6.0(1)

# sh logging server

Logging server:                 enabled

{redacted}

        server severity:        debugging

        server facility:        local7

        server VRF:             default

# sh run | i logging

logging level acllog 3

logging logfile messages 7

logging server redacted 7

logging source-interface loopback 0

The default VRF is working. I see log entries in the logfile, but nothing arrives at the syslog server. It's not a config issue on the server, because tcpdump shows that no packets arrive from the IP for loopback 0.

Any ideas?

Hello Sebastian,

do you have configured the syslog server ip on the switch configuration?

Add this to your configuration:

logging server 6 use-vrf default facility syslog

Regards.

I have configured the IP. I've just put the word "redacted" in its place in the commands above.

Cheers

Sebastian

We have configured with that configuration and work fine, and for you?

I hope i've helped you.
