Managing Syslog
Managing Syslog
System messages are also written to the Syslog server.
When enabled, all user-log messages are sent to the
configured Syslog servers as well as to the Cisco SCE user logs.
You can configure the following options for syslog support:
•
Up to five remote syslog hosts
•
Port number
•
Minimum severity level to be logged
•
Logging rate limit
•
Syslog facility (such as system daemon, local printer, or user process)
•
Time stamp format
Transport protocol is not configurable, since t
he Cisco SCE platform supports Syslog over UDP, only.

Configuring Remote Syslog Hosts
You can configure up to five remote syslog hosts. You can also assign a UDP port to each host.
Guidelines
•
You can define the host using either the hostname or the IP address.
•
To assign a port, you must use the
transport udp
option. If you are not assigning a port, this is not
required, since UDP is the only transport protocol supported for Syslog on the Cisco SCE platform.
•
Each host requires a separate command.
