Disable Redundant Syslog Messages

These instructions refer to this section of the macro. You do not need to modify the command.

logging flow-export-syslogs disable

Enabling NetFlow to export flow information makes the syslog messages in the following table redundant. In the interest of performance, we recommend that you disable redundant syslog messages, because the same information is exported through NetFlow.

Note

When NSEL and syslog messages are both enabled, there is no guarantee of chronological ordering between the two logging types.

If you do not want to disable redundant syslog messages, you can edit this macro and delete only this line from it:

logging flow-export-syslogs disable

You can later enable or disable individual syslog messages by following the procedure in the Disabling and Reenabling NetFlow-related Syslog Messages.
