-t

Displays the log events with a granularity of 10 milliseconds.

-m

-p

-w

-i

Displays only informational log events.

-d

Displays only debug log events.

command

filter

<option-str>

Displays all Event Log entries that contain the specified text. Use an <option-str> value with -a or -r to further filter show logging command output.

switch# show logging -a system
