Step 1
logging asdm {severity_level | message_list}
Example:
hostname(config)# logging asdm 2
Specifies which syslog messages should be sent to
ASDM. The ASA or ASASM sets aside a buffer area
for syslog messages waiting to be sent to ASDM and
saves messages in the buffer as they occur. The
ASDM log buffer is a different buffer than the
internal log buffer. When the ASDM log buffer is
full, the ASA or ASASM deletes the oldest syslog
message to make room in the buffer for new ones.
Deletion of the oldest syslog message to make room
for new ones is the default setting in ASDM. To
control the number of syslog messages retained in the
ASDM log buffer, you can change the size of the
buffer.
Step 2
logging asdm-buffer-size num_of_msgs
Example:
hostname(config)# logging asdm-buffer-size 200
Specifies the number of syslog messages to be
retained in the ASDM log buffer. To empty the
current content of the ASDM log buffer, enter the
clear logging asdm command.
Command Purpose
logging console {severity_level | message_list}
Example:
hostname(config)# logging console errors
Specifies which syslog messages should be sent to the console
port.
