Test
Use this option to send a test message to the Syslog servers configured through the servers option:
1. Select a severity to assign to the test message.
2. Define the test message, using any text that is formatted according to the required message
(MSG) fields. The message fields, which you format, are one of the three parts of the Syslog
message that will be sent. For example, APC: Test Syslog, meets the formatting
requirements.
– The priority (PRI) identifies the Syslog priority assigned to the message’s event and the
facility code assigned to messages sent by the cooling unit.
– The Header includes a time stamp and the IP address of the cooling unit.
– The message (MSG) part has two fields:
• A TAG field, which is followed by a colon and a space, identifies the event type.
• A CONTENT field provides the event text, followed (optionally) by a space and the event
code.
