Edit Syslog Server Page
The
Edit Syslog Server Page
contains the following fields:
•
Server
— Specifies the name of the Remote Log Server to which logs can be sent.
•
UDP Port
— Defines the UDP port to which the server logs are sent. The possible range is 1
to 65535. The default value is 514.
•
Facility
— Defines a user-defined application from which system logs are sent to the remote
server. Only one facility can be assigned to a single server. If a second facility level is
assigned, the first facility is overridden. All applications defined for a device utilize the same
facility on a server. The field default is Local 7. The possible field values are
Local 0 - Local 7.
•
Description
— Provides a user-defined server description.
•
Severity to Include
— Indicates the minimum severity level for logs that are sent to the server.
For example, if Notice is selected, all logs from a Notice severity and higher are sent to the
remote server.
The following are the available log severity levels:
–
Emergency
— The highest warning level. If the device is down or not functioning
properly, an emergency log message is saved to the specified logging location.
–
Alert
— The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved, if there is a serious
device malfunction; for example, all device features are down.
–
Critical
— The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical device
malfunction occurs; for example, two device ports are not functioning, while the rest of
the device ports remain functional.
–
Error
— A device error has occurred, for example, if a single port is offline.
