24 Managing the HP R110/R120 system
To configure system logging, set the following options:
System Log Level
You can specify the minimum severity level of the log messages to write to the system log. In the
following list, the severity levels are listed from most severe (top) to least severe (bottom):
•
Emergency indicates that the system is unusable. It is the highest level of severity.
•
Alert indicates action must be taken immediately.
•
Critical indicates critical conditions.
•
Error indicates error conditions.
•
Warning indicates warning conditions.
•
Notice indicates normal but significant conditions.
•
Informational indicates informational messages.
•
Debug indicates debug-level messages.
For example, if you select Critical , only critical, alert, and emergency messages are written to
the log.
Max Size
Specifies the maximum number of log entries to store in the router's volatile memory. When the
maximum number is reached, the old log messages are overwritten by new messages.
Log Prefix
A text identification string that is added to the log messages. This is useful for quickly
identifying messages you are interested in when using a remote syslog server.
Remote Syslog Configuration
To view a longer history of log messages, you can set up a remote syslog server that acts as a
syslog log relay host on your network. Then, you can configure the router to send syslog
messages to the remote server. The System Log Level setting determines which messages are
stored and are available for relay to a remote syslog server.
•
IP Address : Specify the IP address of the remote syslog server.
