Sending Syslog Messages to a Telnet Session
Remotely troubleshooting or viewing real-time Security Appliance traffic patterns can be
done by configuring the PIX to send logging information to a Telnet session. The logging
monitor command configures the Security Appliance to send syslog messages to Telnet
sessions. For example, after logging into configuration mode, enter the following:
Pixfirewall (config)#logging monitor 6
Pixfirewall(config)#terminal monitor
In this example, syslog messages 0 to 6, or emergency to informational, are sent to a Telnet
session. To disable logging to Telnet, you use the no logging monitor command.
The terminal monitor displays messages directly to the Telnet session. You can disable the
direct display of messages by entering the terminal no monitor command. A Telnet session
sometimes is lost in busy networks when the logging monitor command is used.
