Usage Guidelines
This command displays the contents of the system or kernel log buffer in memory.
The log buffer is circular; when the buffer is full, older entries are deleted as new entries are added.
The system log is also written to non-volatile storage which can be displayed using the show syslog slog command.
The where option can specify either a simple string or a regular expression. A regular express must be enclosed within “/”. The entire string must be enclosed in quotes if it contains whitespace.
