AT-S62 Command Line User’s Guide
263
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.
