Syslog
87.1 Syslog Overview
Use the syslog feature to send logs to an external syslog server. The syslog protocol allows devices to
send event notification messages across an IP network to syslog servers that collect the event messages.
A syslog-enabled device can generate a syslog message and send it to a syslog server.
Syslog is defined in RFC 3164. The RFC defines the packet format, content and system log related
information of syslog messages. Each syslog message has a facility and severity level. The syslog facility
identifies a file in the syslog server. Refer to the documentation of your syslog program for details. See
Section 109.2 on page 730 for more information on the OLT’s logs.
87.2 Syslog Commands
Use these commands to configure the device’s system logging settings and to configure the external
syslog servers.
