Local Cluster Configuration

Field	Description
Retention period (days)	The number of days to keep log archives. For most systems, we recommend
	setting this to 7.
Local log forwarding	Checking the Enable forwarding check box allows you to forward selected
	log entries to a central log management server (such as Graylog2). The log
	management server should be configured to accept log entries via UDP port
	514.
	Specify:
	• The address of the destination server. It must be running some version of
	syslog.
	• The facility value. Default is Local0.
	• The log or logs to forward. The source log file name is included in each of
	the forwarded messages.
	Note: The RealPresence DMA system’s server.log entries are mapped to
	syslog-compliant severities (for example, a “warn” message from server.log
	arrives at the destination server with the syslog-compliant “warn” level, and an
	“info” message arrives with the “info” level). All other logs being forwarded are
	assigned the syslog-compliant “notice” severity.
	Each log message is forwarded with the RealPresence DMA system’s
	timestamp intact. The receiving syslog adds its own timestamp, but preserving
	the RealPresence DMA-applied timestamp makes it easier to accurately
	troubleshoot time-sensitive events.

Alerting Settings

The Alerting Settings page allows you to configure thresholds for system alerts. Here, you can enable or disable certain alerts, and control when they will be triggered.

Note: SNMP and system alerts configuration

Since the triggering of SNMP alerts coincides with system alerts, configuration on this page applies to both system alerts and SNMP alerts.

The Threshold Value column on the right of the page lists the configurable value for each alert’s threshold. Use the arrows next to each field or enter a new number to change the default value. Click the Update button to save your changes, or the Select Defaults button to revert them (Select Defaults returns the values in all fields on this page to their factory defaults).

See the following table for descriptions of each alert’s condition.
