Dell EMC Metro node 7.0.1 Administrator Guide

By default, the console displays only emergency (level 0) messages.

Messages are categorized into 8 severities (0-7), with 0 being the most severe:

7 - debug (debug-level messages)

6 - info (informational messages)

5 - notice (normal but significant messages)

4 - warning (warning messages)

3 - err (error messages)

2 - crit (critical messages)

1 - alert (messages that must be handled immediately)

0 - emerg (messages notifying the system as unusable)

To enable messages with lower severity to appear on the console, change the threshold of the logging filter for the console.

1. Use the log filter list command to display existing log filters.

   VPlexcli:/> log filter list
   1. Component='logserver' Destination='null' Consume='true'
   2. [Threshold='>0'] Destination='null' Consume='true'

2. Determine the ID of the filter controlling the display of messages to the console. The console filter has the following attributes:

   Threhold=’>=0’
Destination= ‘null’
Consume=’true’

3. Use the log filter destroy command to delete the existing console logging filter.

   VPlexcli:> log filter destroy 1

4. Use the log filter create command to create a new filter for the console with the required threshold:

   VPlexcli:> log filter create --threshold <n> --component “logserver”

   where n is 0-7.
