Creating an External Log Server

d Select Log.

e In the Task List panel, select Syslog Server.

2In the IP Address box, type the IP address of the syslog server.

3In the Severity Filter list, select the lowest level of severity of the event or condition to be logged (see the list in step 2 on page 198). The default severity level is Error.

4To map all the facilities to a standard local facility, select Facility Mapping.

Some syslog servers require the facility to be set to a standard local facility name.

5In the Map to Local Facility List, select the local facility (Local 0 to Local 7) that all the facilities are mapped to. The default value is Local 0.

6Click Finish.
