Chapter 14 Enabling and Tracking Syslogs Using Syslog Analyzer and Collector
Generating a Standard Report
You can click on any of the field titles to sort the report based on that field.
Generating a Standard Report
You can generate a system message report for a device or set of devices. You can run a report for a date
or range of dates and base the report on the message severity or alert types. All Syslog reports display
message log information.
Note When you are generating a Standard Report, you may get an outofmemory exception. This may occur if
the number of syslog messages that were generated in the date range that you specified in the report job,
exceeded six hundred thousand. Decrease the period, that is, specify a shorter date range, and run the
report job again.
To generate the report, see Overview: Syslog Analyzer Reports.
Fields in the Standard Report:
Informational Number of informational messages received from the device.
Debugging Number of debug messages received from the device.
