Configuring System Logging
The syslog servers run on remote systems that log system messages based on the syslog protocol. You can configure up to eight IPv4 or IPv6 syslog servers.
To support the same configuration of syslog servers on all switches in a fabric, you can use Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) to distribute the syslog server configuration.
Note: When the device first initializes, messages are sent to syslog servers only after the network is initialized.
This section contains payload examples and CLIs to demonstrate how to use the NX-API REST API to configure system logging on Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches and to show how the REST APIs correspond to the CLI commands.
For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide, Release 7.x.
