Logging log file Nexus 5596

[Aret Avedis SET]

Hi all,

I have several questions about the log file on the Nexus.

We restarted a Nexus switch few days ago and all the logs before the reboot are not present now.

We just have configured the default logging file :

Logging logfile:                enabled

        Name - messages: Severity - notifications Size - 4194304

I can't see where exactly this file is :

dir log:

         31    Jul 22 13:56:01 2013  dmesg

      59109    Jul 22 19:07:42 2013  messages <<<<<<<<<<

       3551    Jul 22 17:44:50 2013  startupdebug

on the bootflash? i can't found it !

Is the "old" logs are on this file "messages" ? If not is there a way to see these old logs?

Anyway how can we configure that the old logs will be storred on the bootflash for example with a size limit for example ?

Thank you for your help

Hello avedis,

You can use the "show logging nvram" to see the old log messages.

Anyway how can we configure that the old logs will be storred on the bootflash for example with a size limit for example ?
