R4(config)#logging host x.x.x.x
R4(config)#logging trap notifications

Check Contents

Verify that the router is configured to send logs to a syslog server. The configuration should look similar to the example below:

logging trap notifications
logging x.x.x.x

Note: Default for sending log messages to the syslog server is informational (level 6); hence, the command logging trap informational will not be seen in the configuration. Level of log messages sent to the syslog server can be verified using the show logging command.

If the router is not configured to send log data to the syslog server, this is a finding.
