8.6 Logging
The PDU family of products supports logging of
system events both internally and externally. An
internal log of more than 4000 events is automati-
cally maintained and is reviewable by administra-
tive users. For permanent/long-term log storage,
PDU supports the Syslog protocol. And for im-
mediate notification, PDU supports Email notifica-
tions.
Log entries include a sequential entry number, a
date/time stamp and an event message. The
event message is preceded with a message ‘type’
heading and if the event is tied to a user, the
username will be included.
Note!
For date/time stamp support, SNTP
server support must be configured.
The PDU supports the following event message
headers:
•
AUTH:
All authentication attempts.
•
POWER:
All power state change requests.
•
CONFIG:
All system configuration changes.
•
EVENT:
All general system events.
Example: over/under threshold event.
Internal System Log
The internal system log is stored in the local
memory and has support for up to 4097 continu-
ously aging entries. The internal system log is
only available to administrative users. For in-
structions on reviewing the internal log,
