Fabric Lock Override
If you have performed a system message logging task and have forgotten to release the lock by either
committing or discarding the changes, an administrator can release the lock from any switch in the
fabric. If the administrator performs this task, your changes to the pending database are discarded and
the fabric lock is released.
Tip
The changes are only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the switch
is restarted.
To use administrative privileges and release a locked system message logging session, use the clear
logging session command.
switch# clear logging session
