Where do I view my router's ACL logs? Is there a way to write a script to have them sent to a network location (like a directory on my file server) so i can view them?
Thanks.

You can have your router forward the log messages to a syslog server. Use 'logging '
Doan
and to the same location if it's a syslog server using
"logging facility syslog"

what I meant to add was that Doan's example sends snmp-traps.
I was wrong. I now don't understand exactly what "logging facility syslog" actually does.

Damn, I was getting excited there, I though that I was going to find out something.
Back to the original question
snmp-server enable traps syslog - enable the transmission of snmp traps of syslog messages
Then you can set the level of events that are sent with
logg history [level]
Presumably if "log history level" is greater than "logg trap level" then since the messages have not been through syslog they won't get to the snmp server? Who knows?
