1.1.3  display logbuffer

Syntax

display logbuffer [ level severity | size buffersize | slot slot number] * [ | { begin | exclude | include } text ]

View

Any view

Default Level

1: Monitor level

Parameters

severity: Information level, in the range 0 to 7.

Table 1-4 Severity description

Severity	Value	Description
emergencies	0	The system is unavailable
alerts	1	Information that requires prompt reaction
critical	2	Critical information
errors	3	Error information
warnings	4	Warnings
notifications	5	Normal errors with important information
informational	6	Informational information to be recorded
debugging	7	Debugging information

 

buffersize: Specifies the number of the latest log messages to display in the log buffer, in the range 1 to 1,024.

slot slot number: Slot number.

|: The output log information filtered by a regular expression.

begin: Displays log information beginning with the specified text.

exclude: Displays log information that does not contain the specified text.

include: Displays log information that contains the specified text.

text: Regular expression.

Table 1-5 Meanings of characters in text

Character	Meaning	Remarks
^	Starting sign, the string following it appears only at the beginning of a line.	Regular expression “^user” matches a string begins with “user”, not “Auser”.
$	Ending sign, the string following it appears only at the end of a line.	Regular expression "user$” matches a string ends with “user”, not “userA”.
.	Full stop, a wildcard used in place of any character, including blank	None
*	Asterisk, used to match a subexpression before it zero or multiple times	zo* can map to “z” and “zoo”.
+	Addition, used to match a subexpression before it one or multiple times	zo+ can map to “zo” and “zoo”, but not “z”.
-	Hyphen. It connects two values (the smaller one before it and the bigger one after it) to indicate a range together with [ ].	For example, “1-9” means numbers from 1 to 9 (inclusive); “a-h” means from a to h (inclusive).
[ ]	Selects one character from the group.	For example, [1-36A] can match only one character among 1, 2, 3, 6, and A.
( )	A group of characters. It is usually used with “+” or “*”.	For example, (123A) means a string “123A”; “408(12)+” can match 40812 or 408121212. But it cannot match 408. That is, “12” can appear continuously and it must at least appear once.

1.1.20  info-center source

Syntax

info-center source { module-name | default } channel { channel-number | channel-name } [ debug { level severity | state state } * | log { level severity | state state } * | trap { level severity | state state } * ] *

undo info-center source { module-name | default } channel { channel-number | channel-name }

Default Level

2: System level

Parameters

module-name: Specifies the source modules of the system information. For example, if you want to output the system information of the ARP module, set the argument to ARP. default: Allows all the modules to output the system information. The modules that are allowed to output system information vary with devices.

debug: Debugging information.

log: Log information.

trap: Trap information.

severity: Specifies the severity of system information, refer to Table 1-4 for details.

state: The state of system information, which could be on or off.

channel-number: Specifies a channel number, in the range 0 to 9.

channel-name: Specifies a channel name, which could be a default name or a self-defined name. The user needs to specify a channel name first before using it as a self-defined channel name. For more information, refer to the info-center channel name command.

Description

Use the info-center source command to specify the information source of the specified information channel, making the information output to the corresponding destination through the specified information channel.

Use the undo info-center source command to restore the default.

By default, the system assigns an information channel for each output destination. See Table 1-1.

This command can be used to filter and redirect system information.

For example, the user can set to output log information with severity higher than warnings to the log host, and information with severity higher than informational to the log buffer. The user can also set to output trap information of the IP module to a specified output destination.

Examples

# Set the output channel for the log information of VLAN module to snmpagent and to output information with severity being emergencies.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] info-center source VLAN channel snmpagent log level emergencies
