Enabling or Disabling the Log Relay Host
on the Log Settings Page
To enable and configure Log Relaying on the Log Settings page, set the Log
Relay options as described in the following table, and then click Save.
Table 18: Log Relay Host
Field Description
Relay Log Select Enabled to allow the access point to send log messages
to a remote host. Select Disabled to keep all log messages on
the local system.
Relay Host Specify the IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or DNS name of the
remote log server.
Relay Port Specify the Port number for the syslog process on the Relay
Host.
The default port is 514.
NOTE:
To apply your changes, click Save. Changing some settings might cause
the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless
clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you
change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.
NOTE:
Hostnames are composed of series of labels joined with dots, as are
all domain names. Each label must be between 1 and 63 characters
long, and the entire hostname (including dots) has a maximum of 253
characters.
If you enabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Save will activate remote logging.
The AP will send its kernel messages in real-time for display to the remote log
server monitor, a specified kernel log file, or other storage, depending on how
you configured the Log Relay Host.
If you disabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Save will disable remote logging.
Email Alert
The Email Alert feature allows the AP to automatically send email messages
when an event at or above the configured severity level occurs. Use the Email
Alert page to configure mail server settings, to set the severity level that triggers
alerts, and to add up to three email addresses where urgent and non urgent
email alerts are sent.
