Syslog Mode
A syslog server must be present on the network in order for the
handset to send the log messages and have them saved. The syslog
server will be found with DHCP option 7 (log server) if the handset is
using DHCP. If static addresses are configured, the syslog server’s IP
address can be configured statically in the
Admin
menu.
If the syslog server address is blank (
000.000.000.000
or
255.255.255.255
) or the handset is using DHCP and no option 7 is
received from the DHCP server, the handset will not send any
syslog messages.
Admin
menu options:
•
*
Disabled
– turns syslog off.
•
Errors
– causes the handset to log only events that we consider to
be an error (see below).
•
Events
– logs all errors plus some other interesting events (see
below).
•
Full
– logs all the above plus a running stream of other quality
information (see below).
Messages are formatted like the following example:
JAN 21 12:51:26 172.29.76.67:11133>Jan 21 19:50:46.00
0090.7a05.18f6 (172.029.076.067) [0000] Successful
Handoff to 0013.5f59.9970 (-68 dBm) from 0000.0000.0000
(-0 dBm), Reason 24, other APs:0013.5f59.9970 (-68 dBm)
0, TxPO:15 dBm, TxPN:15 dBm
The message may be divided into three parts, a header added by the
logger program, a header added by the handset, and the message
itself.
The header added by the logger program is the first part of the
message.
<JAN 21 12:51:26 172.29.76.67:11133>
The information in this header includes the date and time from the
logging computer’s internal clock, as well as the IP address of the
device sending the message. The additional information from p-
Logger (11133) is the UDP source port number from the handset.
The handset header in above example is:
