Page: 37 / 134

If you enable a remote log server, clicking Apply activates the remote logging. The WAP device sends its
kernel messages in real-time for display to the remote log server monitor, a specified kernel log file, or other
storage, depending on your configuration.
If you disabled a remote log server, click Apply to disable remote logging.
Note
View System Log
The View System Log page displays the list of system events occurring on the device. The log is cleared
upon a reboot and can be cleared by an administrator. Up to 1000 events can be shown. Older entries are
removed from the list as needed to make room for new events.
To view the system logs, select Notification > View System Log .
The following information is displayed:
• Time Stamp — The system time when the event occurred.
• Severity — The severity level of the event.
•
Service
— The service associated with the event.
• Description — A description of the event.
You can filter or rearrange the settings on View System Log.
Click Refresh to refresh the screen and show the most current information.
Click Clear All to clear all entries from the log.
Click Download to download all entries from the log.
Email Alert/ Mail Server/ Message Configuration
The email alert feature supports mail server configuration, message severity configuration, and up to three
email addresses to send urgent and non-urgent email alerts. Use the
Email Alert to send messages to the
configured email addresses when particular system events occur.
Do not use your personal email address. This would unnecessarily expose your personal email login credentials.
Use a separate email account instead. Also, be aware that many email accounts keep a copy of all sent messages
by default. Anyone with access to this email account has access to the sent messages. Review the email settings
to ensure that they conform to your privacy policy.
