Need Help - Cisco Syslogging Levels ??? 1

[Igloodude]

How can I get a general description of what syslogging levels cover what messages ??

Is this what you are looking for?

R1(config)#logging trap ?
<0-7> Logging severity level
alerts Immediate action needed (severity=1)
critical Critical conditions (severity=2)
debugging Debugging messages (severity=7)
emergencies System is unusable (severity=0)
errors Error conditions (severity=3)
informational Informational messages (severity=6)
notifications Normal but significant conditions (severity=5)
warnings Warning conditions (severity=4)
<cr>

Yes this goes someway to helping - but ideally I want a basic list of the messages logged under each severity so I can decide what level to syslog at without having to bounce interfaces etc to see if I capture the correct info.

I'm not sure there's an easy way to find this out on a router but the CIsco Catalyst set-based switches do give you something like the following:

Console> show logging
Logging buffer size: 500
timestamp option: enabled
Logging history size: 1
Logging console: enabled
Logging server: disabled
server facility: LOCAL7
server severity: warnings(4)
Current Logging Session: enabled
Facility Default Severity Current Session Severity
------------- ----------------------- ------------------------
acl 5 5
cdp 4 4
cops 3 3
dtp 5 5
earl 2 2
filesys 2 2
gvrp 2 2
icc 2 2
ip 2 2
ipc 2 2
kernel 2 2
ld 3 3
mcast 2 2
mgmt 5 5
mls 5 5
pagp 5 5
protfilt 2 2
pruning 2 2
privatevlan 3 3
qos 3 3
radius 2 2
rsvp 3 3
security 2 2
snmp 2 2
spantree 2 2
sys 5 5
tac 2 2
tcp 2 2
telnet 2 2
tftp 2 2
udld 4 4
vmps 2 2
vtp 2 2
0(emergencies) 1(alerts) 2(critical)
3(errors) 4(warnings) 5(notifications)
6(information) 7(debugging)
Console>


I've never really thought about it before but maybe Cisco routers the same levels
