About System Message Logging
You can also monitor system messages remotely by accessing the switch through Telnet, SSH, or the

Note
messages are not redirected to a system message logging server for a few seconds.
Log messages are not saved across system reboots. However, a maximum of 100 log messages with a
severity level of critical and below (levels 0, 1, and 2) are saved in NVRAM.
