Monitoring Phone Systems Overview
You can view a variety of information about the phone using the phone status menu on the phone and the
phone web pages. This information includes:
• Device information
• Network setup information
• Network statistics
• Device logs
• Streaming statistics
This chapter describes the information that you can obtain from the phone web page. You can use this
information to remotely monitor the operation of a phone and to assist with troubleshooting.
Include a Device Identifier in Uploaded Syslog Messages
You can choose to include a device identifier in syslog messages that are uploaded to the syslog server. While
the IP address of a phone may change over time, the device identifier does not change. This can ease the
process of identifying the source of each message in a stream of incoming messages from multiple phones.
The device identifier appears after the timestamp in each message.
Before you begin
Configure a syslog sever for the phone to upload syslog messages. See Syslog Server in Optional Network
Configuration, on page 225 for details.
