HP J7949E manual Table A.4 HP Jetdirect Syslog Parameters, Syslog Server, Is not restricted

The syslog server may not receive all syslog events from the HP Jetdirect print server:

●UDP does not guarantee delivery of messages.

●The HP Jetdirect print server attempts to eliminate duplicate messages (to minimize unnecessary network traffic).

●The volume of messages sent by the HP Jetdirect print server is configurable.

Methods to configure HP Jetdirect syslog parameters include BOOTP, DHCP, Telnet, the embedded Web server, and management software. For selected printers, a menu

accessed through the printer control panel provides limited syslog configuration. The syslog configuration command or parameter entries may vary depending on the method used. For more information, see the applicable sections in this guide.

Selected syslog parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server are listed in Table A.4.

Table A.4 HP Jetdirect Syslog Parameters

Item	Description
Syslog Server	IP address of a syslog server for sending syslog messages. If
IP address	zero (0.0.0.0) or not specified, syslog messages are disabled.
Syslog Maximum	The number of syslog messages that can be sent by the
Messages	HP Jetdirect print server on a per-minute basis, from 0 to 1000.
	This parameter helps to control the syslog file size. The default
	is 10 messages per minute. If 0, the number of syslog messages
	is not restricted.
Syslog Priority	A method for filtering syslog messages that are sent to the
	syslog server. The range is 0 through 8, with 0 the most specific
	and 8 the most general. Only messages that are lower than the
	specified filter level (or higher in priority) are reported. The
	default is 8, messages of all priorities are sent. If 0, all syslog
	messages are disabled.
Syslog Facility	A code used to identify the source facility of a message (for
	example, to identify the source of selected messages during
	troubleshooting). By default, the HP Jetdirect print server uses
	LPR as the source facility code, but local user values of local0
	through local7 can be used to isolate individual or groups of print
	servers.
