Syslog
Syslog is a standard protocol defined in IETF RFC 5424 for logging system messages to a remote server. Nexus switches support logging of system messages. This log can be sent to the terminal sessions, a log file, and syslog servers on remote systems. You can configure the Nexus switch to send syslog messages to a maximum of eight syslog servers. By default, Cisco Nexus switches only log system messages to a log file and output them to the terminal sessions. When the switch first initializes, messages are sent to syslog servers only after the network is initialized. 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.
