Lightweight AP Syslog Level

Does anyone out there know if there's a way to control the syslog level lightweight APs use for trap logging? I know it's possible to configure them to log to a particular host instead of the default of the 255.255.255.255 but I can't find any command or option to change the trap logging level. It apparently defaults to emergencies and I'd like to set to informational instead to capture additional log data.
Thanks,
Brandon

Below should help you to do this. If you want to do it for a AP then you need to type AP name instead of all. Also make sure APs get register to your controller before doing this.
config ap logging syslog facility   all
config ap logging syslog level informational all
config ap syslog host global
You can verify by using below commands
show ap config global
show logging
show ap config general

  • Different syslog level logging on the switch

    Hi,
    How do I log the messages on a switch to a syslog server at syslog level 3 but on the switch itself I would log at syslog level informational?
    Could anyone advise how should I go about doing this?
    Thanks.

    Hi Christina,
    Which switch you are having? But yes it is possible and I am posting the configuration for one of the common switch 2950
    configure terminal

  • Wireless AirOS Global AP Syslog Level configuration command 7.4.121.0

    Hello
    I have a controller 5508 running on version 7.4.121.0. With the command "show ap config global" I can check the global AP syslog config:
    AP global system logging host.................... 0.0.0.0
    AP global system logging level................... informational
    Default the syslog host ip is 0.0.0.0. With the command ">config ap syslog host global x.x.x.x" I can configure the IP of the syslog server.
    Question:
    How can I configure the global syslog level?
    I searched in the command reference but there is no specific command to set the global AP syslog level.
    Thanks,
    Rolf

    Hi Rolf,
    Here is the command you required
    config ap logging syslog level <syslog_level> all   
    This post also should give you an idea how to configure syslog in different WLC platforms & how to analyze them using splunk

  • Syslog level 6 on 65xx for sys and spantree

    Hi
    Cisco's Best practices doc for 4xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx series switches states to up the logging level of both sys and spantree to 6.
    http://cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps663/products_tech_note09186a0080094713.shtml#sl
    I am finding it hard to find what extra information you get with these non default logging levels.
    I am particularly interested in sys
    Cisco - "Cisco generally recommends bringing the spantree and system syslog facilities up to level 6, as these are key stability features to track. "
    If anyone knows what extra features you get that could provide extra stability be that by proactive notification please let me know. Or for that matter what you could miss by leaving at default of 5.
    Thanks
    PG

    Hi PG,
    Logging level 6 is for informational messages and there are lot of messages which are logged at level 6 for spantree and system messages.
    Like a port state in the VLAN changed to blocking which is diaplyes as a spanning tree 6 level message.
    Have a look at this link for spantree level 6 messages
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/sw_7_3/msg_gd/emsg.htm#wp1016279
    A message for sys level 6 can be for ip phone like a message indicating that an IP phone is reporting a problem with the inline power it is receiving on a port.
    Have a look at this link for all sys level 6 messages
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/sw_7_3/msg_gd/emsg.htm#wp1016897
    I think this will give a fare idea what all messages at level 6 for STP and SYS will let you fast analysing and can result in fast recovery of possible arising problems.

  • Syslog alerts and levels setting

    Hi All,
    I have 20 PIX and ASA firewall have been configured in my ciscoworks (lms 2.6)
    I am able to get alerts like device down and authentication failure messages through mail, I guess these are from DFM.
    My present concerns....
    Configure syslogs in firewalls as per level 1-7 (ignore 7-5 in Ciscoworks) is that possible? If I configure syslog level as 1 then it is sending all syslogs from 1-7 which i dont want.
    And I need to get syslog alerts from firewals to my ciscoworks and then from ciscoworks to my mailbox through email.
    Can someone help me on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Jopeti.

    You can use automated actions and syslog filters to achieve this based on the message type.

  • Syslog Destination Address

    Hi there,
    since my ABSE is constantly rebooting I'm trying to get some logs. I can't use the Airport Utility for that purpose since it's not streaming the logs. Also, as soon as the ABSE reboots it dumps the logs.
    So I'm trying to stream the logs to my MacBook using the Advanced/Logging & SNMP/Syslog Destination Address.
    In that field I've entered the IP address of my MacBook. I've connected it using Ethernet, disabled Airport. Syslog Level to "Debug" -> Update
    Then I open my Console and nothing, I've looked in the different Logs everywhere and can't find anything.
    Has anyone got it working?
    Micha

    Hi,
    I have not got it working, I would also like to do the same thing, but I believe it is quite tricky. By default I believe that OS X 10.4 is NOT configured to be able to receive syslog log messages over the network.
    The program that actually listens for log messages, from the network or from local apps, is called syslogd. www.macosxhintss.com hints has a somewhat confusing write-up on how to reconfigure it to receive messages from the network (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060327074531639). However, this involves tampering with files off of the /System/Library subdirectory, so I'd rather not risk it.

  • Syslog on Cisco Wireless Controller

    Hi everyone
    I have question about syslog on wireless controller. I need to know what is information in the syslog from controller. I had read paper in the community some siad it has not much in the syslog but it has not detial what is the information in the syslog sent. I know that almost information such as client, authentication, and much benefit logging in the SNMP. So, anyone have any idea or information please give me the idea or information.
    Thanks
    V

    You just need to setup the sylog and try different logging levels to see if it gives you the information you need.  YOu might not get what you want or if you find a syslog level that gives you the info you want, you might get a lot of stuff you don't want to see.

  • Logging level differences,,,

    Hi, im student who studying ASA ,
    and I just wondering about the differences between each logging level ( 0 - 7) informational, debugging, etc.
    I was trying to find some of the information and explanation through google, but it was not detail,
    when using a command "show logging" what is the role of each logging features? and what is the differences between all of those,
    thanks in advance, !

    Hello Terry,
    Well the difference between Syslog levels is the events they are going to log, for example lets say so want to log the failover events, for this  you will need to have at least the error level being logged because if you are  using a lower logging level this  will not publish those events, same thing happens with the logging and debugging levels, so if you use the debugging level witch is the # 7 you will be loggin everything that happens around your ASA,  that is why it is common to hear  that you may have high CPU when you use the debug level.
    Hope this helps,
    Please rate helpful posts.

  • AnyConnect Syslog recording Windows Machine Name

    Hello everyone -
    We currently record the standard syslog messages to our Splunk servers.  From time to time it becomes necessary to retrieve some very specific information from our syslogs.  Once request from our security team is to retrieve the Machine Name of the connecting client.  Is there a syslog level, or particular syslog message we need to look for or enable to have this information recorded.  Today we get the following:
    3/5/13
    6:34:31.000 PM
    Mar  5 18:34:31 10.1.16.10 :Mar 05 18:34:31 CST: %ASA-session-6-302014: Teardown TCP connection 30284556 for OUTSIDE:X.X.X.X/ppppp(LOCAL\userID) to INSIDE:Y.Y.Y.Y/ppppp duration 0:00:00 bytes 1246 TCP FINs (UserID)
    IMHO this is plenty, however our security group always wants more data...
    Thanks in advance!

    While there may be plenty of references to getting Win7 to connect to an SSID, there seem to be few to none referencing how to get AnyConnect to connect to wireless before logon. It would be nice if you could provide either a link or a description of how you acheived that portion.

  • Syslogging on WLC for custom webauth bundle

    Hi,
    I recently created a WLAN for guest users. They would have to "register" themselves by entering an emailadress. After this they get access to guest WLAN for a number of hours. My question: In the logs of our syslog server I don't see any of these registrations. How can I enable this or what is needed to do this?
    kind regards,
    tverscheure

    Hello Tim,
    As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-
    In order to configure the WLC for syslog servers with the GUI, complete these steps from the Wireless LAN Controller GUI.
    1.Choose MANAGEMENT > Logs > Config to navigate to this page.
    2.Enter the syslog server IP address and click Add.
    3.Under Syslog Level, set the severity level to filter syslog messages to the syslog servers.
    4.Under Syslog Facility, set the facility for outbound syslog messages to the syslog servers.
    5.Click Apply.

    Filip ,
    I guess it should be covered under notifications but you can try options.

  • Sending traps about rouge AP to syslog server

    Hi
    I am looking to have a syslog server capture traps from a 5508 running 7.6.110
    I don't want to turn logging to max just capture similar trap as one below into a syslog server
    Rogue AP: aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa detected on Base Radio MAC: bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb

    have adjusted the syslog level and facility but believe i have not hit the correct balance
    any assistance would be appreciated

    Hi.
    SNMP traps are sent to a SNMP trap collector. not to a syslog server.
    syslog messages are sent to a syslog server.
    I think that message above is under the level "errors" (not pretty sure). if you config the level to be "errors" you'll receive all syslog messages under that category.
    Regarding SNMP traps, make sure that under the trap control that the rogue AP traps are checked so they are sent to the SNMP collector.

  • Any way to shut off WLC syslog %APF-4-ROGUE_AP_ADD_FAILED?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of a way to shut off syslog traffic for "%APF-4-ROGUE_AP_ADD_FAILED" other than by changing the WLC syslog level?
    We need to keep that level (warning level 4) in order to view important warnings.  The message noted above is 70% of WLC syslog traffic...way too much.
    Mike Ciulla

    Hi,
    Yeah, we tried that too with WCS. We can classify malicious (unknown AP using our SSIDs) and friendly (known APs another department that we are merging with), but not unclassified, which is where most of them sit.  The controllers max out with rogues and dump all the "add failed" spam logs. Looks like we will just filter syslog servers after it traverses the network, as you mentioned.  I guess 20k/hr is not that heavy anyway, but it does tie up a some WLC processing power.  Was thinking the spam could be dumped right at the controller.

  • Time Capsule remote syslog configuration

    I am trying to configure my time capsule to write its syslog to my imac. I am running Snow Leopard and the time capsule is at the latest patch 7.4.2. I have gone into the airport utility and set the syslog destination address to 192.168.0.44, syslog level 6. Allow SNMP and allow SNMP over Wan are both unchecked. I made the change and restarted the TC. On the target machine I editted /etc/syslog.conf, adding:
    local0.* /var/log/AirPort.log
    rebooted the imac and nothing. I am not seeing the log written on the 192.168.0.44 machine, the TC is 192.168.0.1
    I have searched the internet, man pages, etc and have found nothing that sheds light on this issue. What am I missing?

    Hi, welcome to the Apple discussions. I know the layout can be a bit confusing, but you've managed to post your question in the MacBook forum. A lot fewer people here will be able to help with such a specialized question.
    However, you can try asking in the Time Capsule forum:

  • Double computer name on network and NAT issue with Back to My Mac

    These are the problems I am having:
    When my MacPro workstation (which on the network is named "The Beast") wakes from sleep - I get a message saying "there is already a computer on the network with the name "The Beast". Other computers on the network can now find you at "The Beast-2"" and it gives me a new name in the file sharing preferences - even though it is the only computer on the network with that name.
    Why is this happening???
    The other problem is with BackTo My Mac - When I try to enable it - I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing" - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
    Here is my network setup which consists of the Modem / Router from my ISP - an Airport Extreme Base Station and one Airport Express - which is connected to my MacPro via ethernet. The MacPro does not have an airport card installed and is running OSX 10.6.8 - all other computers / devices are running 10.7.x and iOS6).
    VDSL Modem / Router (from Internet provider) with wireless turned off - (so it is not broadcasting a competing wireless signal) - connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
    Here are all the settings on the AEBS and the Airport Express: - I am using Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 - so the setup prefs are different than the newer version of Airport Utility found on 10.7.x systems - but both work fine. Although I did notice that the option to allow ethernet clients to connect to the Airport Express does not exist (or I just didn't find it) in the newer version of Airport Utility.
    Airport Extreme Base Station is set up as follows:
    Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
    Wireless Settings:
    Allow this network to be extended IS CHECKED
    Radio Mode: 802.11n (b and g compatible)
    Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Access Control:
    MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
    Internet Settings:
    Internet Connection:
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode).
    TCP/IP:
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    Advanced Settings:
    Logging & Statistics:
    Syslog Destination Address is blank (as in nothing appears in this field).
    Syslog Level: 5 - Notice
    Allow SNMP is CHECKED
    MobileMe:
    Back to my Mac is turned off - but if I try to turn it on I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
    IPv6:
    IPv6 Mode: Link-local only
    As stated - my MacPro with no wifi card -  is connected via ethernet to an Airport Express which connects wirelessly to the AEBS for network and internet access.
    Airport Express Settings:
    Airport Settings:
    Wireless Mode: Join a Wireless Network
    Allow Ethernet Clients IS CHECKED
    Wireless Security WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Internet Settings: Are grayed out (as in I can't change these settings - I assume because they are being controlled by the AEBS) and read as follows:
    Connect Using: Wireless Network
    Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode)
    TCP/IP:
    Configure IPv4: using DHCP
    All other settings are identical to the AEBS.
    All other WiFi devices in the house (MacBook Pro, iPhones, iPad's, iMac, Apple TV, Nintendo Wii etc…all are able to connect to the network and connect to the internet - no problem.
    Thanks for any insights into what might be causing the double name on the network and why it is asking me to turn off NAT addressing - when both my Airport devices are in Bridge Mode?

    I am also having this issue... any updates on this??
