Syslog

The Syslog messaging system enables the AP to transmit event messages to a central server for monitoring and troubleshooting. The access point logs “Session Start (Log-in)” and “Session Stop (Log-out)” events for each wireless client as an alternative to RADIUS accounting.

See RFC 3164 at http://www.rfc-editor.orgfor more information on the Syslog standard.

Setting Syslog Event Notifications

Syslog Events are logged according to the level of detail specified by the administrator. Logging only urgent system messages will create a far smaller, more easily read log than a log of every event the system encounters. Determine which events to log by selecting a priority defined by the following scale:
