Section 4 User Interface Guide Total Access 600 Series System Manual

SYSTEM CONFIG > SYSLOG > SYSLOG IP

IP address of the syslog daemon to which log message should be sent. The values must be dotted decimal notation.

SYSTEM CONFIG > SYSLOG > SYSLOG FORMAT

The SYSLOG FORMAT is the format of log messages. "ADTRAN" uses a format that is compatible with ADTRAN Utilities and forces the Syslog Facility to LOCAL0. UNIX uses the traditional Unix format and reports at the configured facility level.

ADTRAN Utilities may malfunction if messages are received in the Unix format.

SYSTEM CONFIG > SYSLOG > SYSLOG FACILITY

The choices are: LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. SYSLOG FACILITY

is the facility level for all messages forwarded from the unit to the syslog server. This allows all messages received from the IAD to be filtered by facility level. See RFC3164: The BSD Syslog Protocol.

This does not have to correspond to the facility level shown in the terminal mode option. See SYSLOG using Terminal Mode on page 59.

The remaining Syslog parameters have the following level choices:

FATAL (Highest priority)

ALERT CRITICAL ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO

DEBUG (Lowest priority)

Every log message generated by the IAD has a reporting level priority. If the message priority is lower than the configured priority for the destination log, the message is not forwarded to the syslog daemon. See RFC3164: The BSD Syslog Protocol. The lower the log level, the more messages that will be generated. Setting reporting levels to DEBUG may negatively affect the performance of the IAD, including causing the IAD to reset.

ADTRAN recommends using DEBUG for only short periods of time, and for debug purposes only.
