Adding a description for a Syslog server

You can associate a user-friendly description with each of the IP addresses (IPv4 only) configured for syslog using the CLI or SNMP.


	NOTE: The HP enterprise MIB hpicfSyslog.mib allows the configuration and monitoring of syslog for SNMP (RFC 3164 supported.)


	CAUTION: Entering the `no logging` command removes ALL the syslog server addresses without a verification prompt.

The CLI command is:

Syntax:

logging <ip-addr> [control-descr <text_string>]
no logging <ip-addr> [control-descr]

An optional user-friendly description that can be associated with a server IP address. If no description is entered, this is blank. If text_string contains white space, use quotes around the string. IPv4 addresses only.

Use the no form of the command to remove the description. Limit: 255 characters

NOTE: To remove the description using SNMP, set the description to an empty string.

Example:

logging command with a control description
HP Switch(config)# logging 10.10.10.2 control-descr syslog_one

Logging command	home	Adding a priority description


	NOTE: To remove the description using SNMP, set the description to an empty string.
