AT-S62 Command Line User’s Guide

Description

This command creates a new syslog server definition. The switch uses the definition to send event messages to a syslog server on your network. You can create up to nineteen syslog server definitions.

After you create a new syslog server definition with this command, you must customize it by defining which event messages you want the switch to send to the server. You can customize a definition so that the switch sends all of its event messages to the syslog server or limit it to just a selection of events from particular modules in the AT-S62 management software. Customizing a definition is accomplished with ADD LOG OUTPUT on page 259 or SET LOG OUTPUT on page 275.

Note

The default configuration for a new syslog server definition specifies no event messages. The switch will not send events to the syslog server until you have customized the definition.

The OUTPUT parameter in this command specifies the ID number for the new syslog server definition. The range is 2 to 20. Every definition must have a unique ID number.

The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address of the syslog server.

The FACILITY parameter adds a numerical code to the entries as they are sent to the server. You can use this code to group entries on the syslog server according to the management module or switch that produced them. This is of particular value when a syslog server is collecting events from several difference network devices. You can specify only one facility level for a syslog server definition.

There are two approaches to using this parameter. The first is to use the DEFAULT option. At this setting, the code is based on the functional groupings defined in the RFC 3164 standard. The codes that are applicable to the AT-S62 management software and its modules are shown in Table 2.
