Establishing Syslog logging
If you plan to use Syslog to collect call and system event messages from the MAX, proceed as
follows to configure the MAX to send messages to a
syslog
daemon:
1
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config > Log profile.
2
Set the Syslog parameter to Yes.
3
Set the Log Host parameter to the IP address of the host running the
syslog
daemon.
4
Set the Log Port parameter to the port at which the
syslog
daemon listens for Syslog
messages from the MAX. The default is 514.
5
Specify the Log Facility value to be attached to each Syslog message.
The
syslog
daemon can receive messages from several devices, and it groups the
messages. If the daemon receives messages from devices that specify the same log facility,
it stores them in the same file.
6
Exit and save the changes.
To configure the
syslog
daemon on a UNIX host, you need to modify the host’s
/etc/syslog.conf
file. This file specifies a specific action the daemon performs when it
receives messages with a particular Log Facility number. For example, if you set Log Facility
to Local5 in the MAX, and the
syslog
daemon should store messages from the MAX in the
/var/log/
MAX file, add the following line to the
/etc/syslog.conf
file:
local5.info
tab
/var/log/MAX
After making changes to the
/etc/syslog.conf
file, you must direct the UNIX host to
reread the file.
