System Logging Configuration
Syslog event reporting uses the syslog protocol to relay event messages to a centralized event server on
the enterprise network. In the protocol, a device generates messages, a relay receives and forwards the
messages, and a syslog server receives the messages.
System
Log Level
Determines the error severity that is logged for the appliance and AP. Select the least severe log level
that you want to receive: Information, Minor, Major, Critical. For example, if you select Minor, you receive
all Minor, Major and Critical messages. If you select Major you receive all Major and Critical messages.
The default is Minor.
Enable
Report Station Events
to collect and display station session events on the
ExtremeCloud Appliance station events log.
Enable
Forward Station Events as Traps
to notify the administrator of events without
solicitation. An SNMP trap is an event notification sent by the managed agent (a network
device) to the management system to identify the occurrence of conditions. Traps can save
network resources by reducing SNMP polling.
Syslog
Provide the IP Address of 1-3 syslog servers and enable the type of messages that you want to send to
the syslog servers.
•
Send all Service Messages
•
Send Audit Messages
•
Send Station Events
Note
To synchronize the logs, the syslog daemon must be running on both the appliance and on
the remote syslog server. When you change the log level on the appliance, you must
modify the appropriate setting in the syslog configuration on remote syslog server.
Facility
Codes
Facilities codes identify log streams in the remote syslog server. Select a unique facility code
(local.0 - local.6) for each ExtremeCloud Appliance facility to differentiate the log streams
and facilitate the filtering of messages.
The facility code applies to all three servers. Select a facility code for each of the following:
•
Application Facility
•
Service Facility
•
Audit Facility
•
Station Facility
