Include a Device Identifier in Uploaded Syslog Messages
You can choose to include a device identifier in syslog messages that are uploaded to the syslog server. While
the IP address of a phone may change over time, the device identifier does not change. This can ease the
process of identifying the source of each message in a stream of incoming messages from multiple phones.
The device identifier appears after the timestamp in each message.
Before you begin
Configure a syslog sever for the phone to upload syslog messages. See
Syslog Server
in
for details.
