Syslog Monitoring
The Monitoring sub-page of the Device Info page allows you to set the Syslog daemon configuration of the
Mediatrix 4104. You can also set these parameters and supplemental information via SNMP, as described in
“Chapter 28 - Syslog Daemon” on page 341 .
The Syslog daemon is a general purpose utility for monitoring applications and network devices with the TCP/
IP protocol. With this software, you can monitor useful messages coming from the Mediatrix 4104 unit. If no
Syslog daemon address is provided by a DHCP server or specified by the administrator, no messages are
sent.
For instance, if you want to download a new software into the Mediatrix 4104, you can monitor each step of
the software download phase. Furthermore, if the unit encounters an abnormal behaviour, you may see
accurate messages that will help you troubleshoot the problem.

To set the syslog parameters:
1. In the web interface, click the Device Info link, then the Monitoring sub-link.
Figure 10: Device Info – Monitoring Web Page
2. Select the configuration source of the syslog information in the Syslog Configuration Source
choices.

Source Description
Static You manually enter the value and it remains the same every time the Mediatrix 4104
restarts. Use the static configuration if you are not using a DHCP server or if you want
to bypass it.
DHCP The value is obtained at start-time by querying a DHCP server and using standard
DHCP fields or options. Using the DHCP configuration assumes that you have properly
set your DHCP server with the relevant information. See
“Chapter 8 - IP Address and
Network Configuration” on page 141 for more details.
