Port
Enter the UDP port number by which you access the syslog server. Use a decimal number from 0 to
65535. The default is 514, which is the well-known port number.

Facility

Click the drop-down menu button and select the syslog facility tag for events sent to this server. The
facility tag lets the syslog server sort messages into different files or destinations. The choices are:
User = Random user-process messages.
Mail = Mail system.
Daemon = System daemons.
Auth = Security or authorization messages.
Syslog = Internal syslogd-generated messages.
LPR = Line printer subsystem.
News = Network news subsystem.
UUCP = UUCP (UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program) subsystem.
Reserved (9) through Reserved (14) = Outside the Local range, with no name or assignment yet, but
usable.
CRON = Clock daemon.
Local 0 through Local 7 (default) = User defined.
Add or Apply / Cancel
To add this server to the list of syslog servers, click Add. Or to apply your changes to this syslog server,
click Apply. Both actions include your entry in the active configuration. The Manager returns to the
Configuration | System | Events | Syslog Servers screen. Any new server appears in the Syslog Servers list.
Reminder: To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the
top of the Manager window.
To discard your entries, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration | System | Events | Syslog
Servers screen, and the Syslog Servers list is unchanged.
Configuration | System | Events | SMTP Servers
This section of the Manager lets you configure SMTP servers that you use to email event messages to
email recipients. If you configure any event handling—default or special—with values in Severity to Email
fields, you must identify at least one SMTP server to handle the outgoing e mail, and you must name at
least one email recipient to receive the event messages. You can configure two SMTP servers: one
primary and one backup in case the primary is unavailable.
To configure email recipients, see the Configuration | System | Events | Email Recipients screen.
To configure default event handling, click the highlighted link that says “Click here to configure general
event parameters.” To configure special event handling, see the Configuration | System | Events | Classes
screens.
