192 AlterPath KVM Installation, Configuration, and Users Guide
The top of the form is used to tell the KVM where to send syslog messages:
• You can specify one facility number for messages from KVM ports and
AUX ports and another facility number for messages from KVM ports.
Obtain the facility numbers to use from the syslog server’s administrator.
See “To Add a Syslog Server [Wizard]” on page 134 for how syslogging is
configured for the KVM under the Configuration>General form. You can
specify the same or different syslog servers and the same or duplicate
facility numbers according to your site’s configuration.
• You can send syslog messages to the console port (for logging the messages
even if no user is logged in); to all sessions where the root user is logged in,
or to one or more syslog servers.
• You can add or delete entries for syslog servers.
The bottom of the form has check boxes for specifying which types of
messages are forwarded based on the following criteria:
• Their severity level: “Emergency,” “Alert,” “Critical,” “Error,” “Warning,”
“Notice,” “Info,” “Debug”
• Their category “CAS/AUX log;” “KVM log;” “Data Buffering log;” “Web
log;” or “System log.”
