Brocade VRouter configuration

The vRouter uses the standard Linux syslogd process to allow the logging capabilities of most vRouter processes.

Note
Log messages are stored in /var/log/messages. When the file size reaches 500 KB, the messages file is renamed to messages.#, with # being an incremental number.

Use the show log command to view logs. You can use the following versions of this command to view the active log file.

show log
show log | match <string>
show log | more
show log all
show log tail
show log vpn ipsec

To send logs from Brocade vRouter to the Comm Broker using syslog:

Use a single command string with the <destination> variable to configure different custom logging scenarios, such as location, file name, and user. The command syntax follows:
```
set system syslog <destination> facility <facility_num> level <logging_level>
```

The following example uses host as the logging destination (your Trellix Comm Broker Sender), local3 as the facility, and info as the logging level.

set system syslog host 10.176.10.10 facility local3 level info
