Rate Limit Limits the rate of log messages sent to the syslog server.
•Enable Rate Limit—When selected, the rate limit is enabled. When
deselected, the rate limit is disabled.
•Messages per Sec.—The maximum number of logging messages that
can be sent per second. Valid values range from 1 to 10000. The default
is 10 messages per second.
•Exclude—The types of messages to exclude from the rate limit. This
setting excludes the severity level you select as well as all messages with
a lower severity level number (that is, more severe). The default is 3
(errors), which excludes all log messages with a severity level of 3, 2
(critical), 1 (alerts), or 0 (emergencies) from the rate limit. For more
information about severity levels, see Table15-5 on page 15-145.
•All Messages—When selected, the rate limit applies to all messages
except console messages.
•Console Messages—When selected, the rate limit applies to console
messages only.
Tip To restore the router’s default rate limit settings, select the Enable
Rate Limit check box, then erase the rate limit value setting.
Origin ID The origin identifier that is added to the beginning of all syslog messages
sent from this device to the remote syslog server. The origin identifier is
useful in cases where you send output from multiple devices to a single
syslog server.
•ID Type—The type of origin identifier added to the beginning of each
syslog message. Options are:
–
IP Address—The IP address of the source device.
–
Hostname—The hostname of the source device.
–
String—User-defined text.
•Value—Applies only when you select String as the ID type. Enter the
text of the user-defined string. Spaces are permitted, except for the first
character.
Note The origin identifier is not added to messages sent to local
destinations, such as the buffer, the console, and the monitor.
