Add Syslog Server Page
The
Add Syslog Server Page
contains fields for defining new Remote Log
Servers.
The
Add Syslog Server Page
contains the following fields:
•
Log Server IP Address — Specifies the server to which logs can be sent.
•
UDP Port — Defines the UDP port to which the server logs are sent. The
possible range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 514.
•
Facility — Defines a user-defined application from which system logs are sent
to the remote server. Only one facility can be assigned to a single server. If a
second facility level is assigned, the first facility is overridden. All applications
defined for a device utilize the same facility on a server. The field default is
Local 7. The possible field values are Local 0 - Local 7.
•
Description — Provides a user-defined server description.
•
Minimum Severity — Indicates the minimum severity level of logs that are sent
to the server. For example, if Notice is selected, all logs from a Notice severity
and higher are sent to the remote server.
The following are the available log severity levels:
-
Emergency
— The highest warning level. If the device is down or not
functioning properly, an emergency log message is saved to the
specified logging location.
-
Alert
— The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved, if there
is a serious device malfunction; for example, all device features are
down.
