The Edit Syslog Server Page contains the following fields:
• Server — Specifies the name of the Remote Log Server to which logs can be
sent.
• UDP Port — Defines the UDP port to which the server logs are sent. The
possible range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 514.
• Facility — Defines a user-defined application from which system logs are sent
to the remote server. Only one facility can be assigned to a single server. If a
second facility level is assigned, the first facility is overridden. All applications
defined for a device utilize the same facility on a server. The field default is
Local 7. The possible field values are Local 0 - Local 7.
• Description — Provides a user-defined server description.
• Severity to Include — Indicates the minimum severity level for logs that are
sent to the server. For example, if Notice is selected, all logs from a Notice
severity and higher are sent to the remote server.
The following are the available log severity levels:
- Emergency — The highest warning level. If the device is down or not
functioning properly, an emergency log message is saved to the
specified logging location.
- Alert — The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved, if there
is a serious device malfunction; for example, all device features are
down.
- Critical — The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a
critical device malfunction occurs; for example, two device ports are not
functioning, while the rest of the device ports remain functional.
- Error — A device error has occurred, for example, if a single port is
offline.
- Warning — The lowest level of a device warning. The device is
functioning, but an operational problem has occurred.
- Notice — The system is functioning properly, but system notice has
occurred.
- Informational — Provides device information.
- Debug — Provides debugging messages.
