Syslog test (Web interface). This option allows you to send a test
message to the Syslog servers configured in the Syslog Server section.
Syslog Server Settings
Server IP/
Domain Name
Uses specific IP addresses or domain names to identify which of up to
four servers will receive Syslog messages sent by the Rack PDU.
NOTE:To use the Syslog feature, at least Server IP/Domain Name
must be defined for at least one server.
Port Identifies the user datagram protocol (UDP) port that the Rack PDU
will use to send Syslog messages. The default is 514, the number of
the UDP port assigned to Syslog.
Local Priority (Severity Mapping)
Map to
Syslog’s
Priorities
Maps each of the severity levels (Local Priority settings) that can be
assigned to System and Rack PDU events to the available Syslog
priorities. The following definitions are from RFC3164:
•Emergency: The system is unusable
•Alert: Action must be taken immediately
•Critical: Critical conditions
•Error: Error conditions
•Warning : Warning conditions
•Notice: Normal but significant conditions
•Informational: Informational messages
•Debug: Debug-level messages
Following are the default settings for the four Local Priority settings:
•Severe is mapped to Critical.
•Warning is mapped to Warning .
•Informational is mapped to Info.
•None (for events that have no severity level assigned) is mapped to
Info.
NOTE:To disable sending Syslog messages for Severe, Warning, or
Informational events, see Event Actions (Web Interface Only).
