Understanding Syslog messages
Verifying Syslog support
Verifying Syslog support
Verify that a MAX unit is configured to report events to a syslog host on a local IP network.
The MAX unit sends Syslog reports through the unit’s Ethernet interface. Verify three
parameter settings in the Mod Config menu’s Log profile. Table A-1 summarizes the settings
to verify and assure that the MAX supports Syslog.
Understanding Message Log status window
The Message Log status window provides a log of up to 32 of the most recent system events
since you last reset the MAX. As additional events occur, the earliest event information is
overwritten. Maintain a permanent log of MAX system events and send CDR reports to a host
that can record and process them.
Display the Message Log window for an AIM module (such as Host/6 or Host/Dual) or for the
system itself. The contents of the port-specific message log and the contents of the system
message log do not overlap. That is, an event described in the system message log is not
displayed in the message log specific to an AIM port.
Each message log displays up to 32 of the most recent system events the MAX has recorded.
When you select the Message Log option, the most recent message appears.
The message logs update dynamically. Press the Up-Arrow key to display the previous entry.
Press the Down Arrow key to display the next entry.
Table A-1. Summary of Syslog settings
Parameter Description
Log Host Specifies the IP address of the Syslog host-a UNIX station to
which the MAX sends system logs. This parameter applies only
when
Syslog=Yes .
Verify that the MAX unit’s configuration does not specify a Syslog
host that can only be reached by a dial-up connection. This can
cause the MAX to redial the log host for every logged action,
including hang ups.
Log Facility Specifies how the Syslog host sorts system logs. The Syslog host
is the station to which the MAX sends system logs.
All system logs using the same setting are grouped together in the
host's file system. That is, all system logs using the Local0 facility
are grouped together, all system logs using the Local1 facility are
grouped together, and so on.
This parameter applies only when Syslog=Yes .
Syslog Specifies whether or not the MAX sends warning, notice, and Call
Detail Reporting (CDR) records from the system logs to the Sys-
log host.
