So on your log messages, you have a few options. So if I type show run pipe include
service.
What you'll notice is on my log messages, I have a date-time set.
I also have that set on debuggs.
You can enable sequence numbers as an example if you want to see sequence numbers on your log messages.
If I press control Z here, notice I see a Syslog message number and that's now appearing in my Kiwi
Syslog server, do that again
notice the message number has increased if I shut an interface down.
OSPF is shutting down the neighbor relationships, but notice you can see the numbers incrementing on
the router, these numbers on the left are Kiwi Syslog sequence numbers, but the 500 numbers here are
numbers on the router, as you can see over here, 593 and 593 over there.
Sequence numbers obviously make it a lot easier to find messages and sort them when you're receiving
multiple messages and want to order it logically.
So when I type End as an example, notice the sequence number
shown in Kiwi Syslog server as well as on the router, you can type service timestamps and specify that
for both log and debug messages you can either show it by date and time or by the system uptime.
So at the moment, it's set to date and time
you can see the date is May the 16th, can see the time, up
Time allows you to specify the uptime on the router.
So how long is the router been up for?
and you can see this router has been up for almost one hour and 20 minutes, notice
the format has changed.
You probably want to do it based on date time and then you can specify how you're going to do it, so
milliseconds allows me to specify milliseconds in the timestamp.
I could also specify the year, at the moment
notice there's no year specified on these messages.
Control Z again or control Zed notice now I'm getting May the 16th, 2016, and the time on the router.
Now, you can disable that, so you could say no service timestamps, and when I press control Z now
or control Zed notice I don't see the date and time stamps.
Do it again, so Control Zed notice now, I see date and time.
