Additional Syslog Features
•The MONITOR feature allows all Syslog messages to be pre-filtered by SYSTEM NAME, SOURCE, SLOT,
and PORT before displaying these messages to the user and logging the message to the pre-designated
monitor log file. Various filter options may be defined by selecting SOURCE. The figure below shows
the SOURCE FILTER window. When the MONITOR button is selected, the file will be logged to
LOCAL8.TXT. To look at the text file, click on the EDIT LOG button on the left side of the Syslog screen.
Only the Source Options that are selected with an ‘x’ will be displayed in the Syslog file. In this example,
all options will be displayed.
• Under the LOG FILES menu option, the user may erase log files, define Red events, set prioritiesl, and
clear Red events. The ERASE LOG FILES option erases the specified txt log file. DEFINE RED EVENTS
allows the user to predefine a message priority condition so that if the condition occurs, the file is
highlighted in red. In the first figure on the next page, any CRITICAL or MAJOR condition causes any
LOCAL0 through LOCAL7 facility to become highlighted in red if it receives a critical or major alarm.
