Understanding Service Monitor Syslog Handling

Service Monitor receives and processes syslog messages from Cisco 1040s. After processing syslog

messages, Service Monitor writes them to the syslog file, syslog.log, in NMSROOT\qovr.

Caution Service Monitor does not use the CWCS syslog service; do not try to start this service, and do not run

crmlog.exe. Doing so will cause Service Monitor to function incorrectly.
