7 Configuring Syslog
7.1 Overview
Status changes (such as link up and down) or abnormal events may occur anytime. Ruijie products provide the syslog
mechanism to automatically generate messages (log packets) in fixed format upon status changes or occurrence of events.
These messages are displayed on the related windows such as the Console or monitoring terminal, recorded on media such
as the memory buffer or log files, or sent to a group of log servers on the network so that the administrator can analyze
network performance and identify faults based on these log packets. Log packets can be added with the timestamps and
sequence numbers and classified by severity level so that the administrator can conveniently read and manage log packets.
