Sending Syslog Messages to an E-mail Address
To send syslog messages to an e-mail address, perform the following steps:
Step1 Choose Configuration > Device Management > Logging > E-Mail Setup.
Step2 In the Source E-Mail Address field, specify the e-mail address that is used as the source address for
syslog messages that are sent as e-mail messages.
Step3 Click Add to enter a new e-mail address recipient of the specified syslog messages. For more
information, see the “Adding or Editing E-Mail Recipients” section on page76-13.
Step4 Choose the severity level of the syslog messages that are sent to the recipient from the drop-down list.
The syslog message severity filter used for the destination e-mail address causes messages of the
specified severity level and higher to be sent. The global filter specified in the Logging Filters pane is
also applied to each e-mail recipient. For more information, see the “Applying Logging Filters” section
on page 76-14.
Step5 Click Edit to modify an existing severity level of the syslog messages that are sent to this recipient. For
more information, see the “Adding or Editing E-Mail Recipients” section on page76-13.
