Syslog Daemon
This chapter describes how to configure and use the Syslog daemon.
Syslog Daemon Configuration
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 1204 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 1204, 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.
