Syslog
Syslog is a standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network. The MAS platform optionally supports syslog over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for the delivery of logs and alarm history to one or more syslog server destinations.
To enable or disable syslog delivery, use the Delivery of SYSLOG property (found in the Nortel MAS Console). To configure one or more syslog server destinations, use the SYSLOG Destination Server List property (found in the Nortel MAS Console). You can enter the syslog server host name or IP address; separate each entry with a semicolon.
Event logs
Event logs provide a historical view of events that occur on the system. Event logs are delivered to all configured destinations, which may include the MAS management console, syslog destinations, SNMP destinations, and the local Microsoft Event Viewer. The system automatically archives and rotates the logs as needed.
Every log is assigned one of the following severities: Error, Warning, or Informational. Errors are the most severe and provide further details on alarm conditions. Warnings are less severe and are generated for events such as raising or clearing an alarm. Informational logs are the least severe and provide indication of processing, such as new connections initialized for each component during startup.
