Logging M4100

I've looked over the user manual, the software administration manual and CLI reference manual and I'm not very clear on logging.  I'd appreciate if someone can take a few minutes and explain it here.

 

From what I understand there are buffered logs, command logs, console logs, syslogs, trap logs, event logs, peristent logs.  I think I got them all.

 

All I want is the ability to monitor my the logs for changes to the switch for security purposes and also if I can get switch statistics that would be great.  What do I need to do to accomplish that task, I have a syslog server to receive data, tell me what I need to enable.

 

Goal:

1) Get events of changes made to the switch

2) Get any errors the switch generates

3) Get statistics

4) Send all these to a centralized syslog server

 

Thanks,

J
