Table 4-5 Types of SYSLOG messages

Message Type

Description

 

 

Fatal

Information about events that caused the RS 2100 to crash and reset.

 

 

Error

Information about errors.

 

 

Warning

Warnings against invalid configuration information and other conditions that are not

 

necessarily errors.

 

 

Informational

Informational messages such as status messages. The SYSLOG messages that the CPU

 

displays while booting the software and reading the startup configuration file are examples of

 

Informational messages.

 

 

Table 4-6shows examples of the types of SYSLOG messages. Notice that after the facility type (in this case, “CONFIG”) the message contains a letter that refers to the message type: “F” for fatal, “E” for error, and so on.

The RS 2100 writes the SYSLOG messages to a SYSLOG daemon on UDP port 514. You can set the CLI to send all or only some of the message types. By default, the CLI sends warning, error, and fatal messages but not informational messages to the specified SYSLOG server.

Use the following procedure to specify the SYSLOG server and the types of messages you want the CLI to send to the server.

1.Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.

2.Use the ping command to verify that the RS 2100 can reach the SYSLOG server.

3.Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.

4.Enter the following commands to add the SYSLOG server to the RS 2100, set the message level, and set the SYSLOG facility:

system set syslog server <hostname-or-IP-addr>

system set syslog level fatalerrorwarninginfo system set syslog facility <facility-type>
