Syslog test and format example.
Path: Logs > Syslog > test
Send a test message to the Syslog servers (where were configured through the servers option).
Select a severity to assign to the test message and then define the test message:
• The priority (PRI): the Syslog priority assigned to the message’s event, and the facility code of
messages sent by the NMC.
• The Header: a time stamp and the IP addres s of the NMC.
• The message (MSG) part:
– The TAG field, followed by a colon and space, id entifies the event type.
– The CONTENT field is the event text, followed (optionally) by a space and the event code.
For example, APC: Test Syslog is valid.
Port The user datagram protocol (UDP) port that the NMC will use to send Syslog messages. The
default is 514, the UDP port assigned to Syslog.
Protocol Choose between UDP and TCP.
Language Choose the language for any Syslog messages.
Setting Definition
Message
Generation Enables (by default) or disables the Syslog feature.
Facility Code
Selects the facility code assigned to the NMC’s Syslog messages (User, by default).
Note: User best defines the Syslog messages sent by the NMC. Do not change this selection
unless advised to do so by the Syslog network or syst em administrator.
Severity
Mapping
Maps each severity level of NMC or Environment events to available Syslog priorities. You
should not need to change the mappings.
The following definitions are from RFC3164:
•Emergency: The system is unusable
•Alert: Action must be taken immediately
•Critical: Critical conditions
•Error: Error conditions
•Warnin g: Warning conditions
•Notice: Normal but significant conditions
•Informational: Informational messages
•Debug: Debug-level messages
Following are the default settings for the Local Priority settings:
•Severe is mapped to Critical
•Warnin g is mapped to War ning
•Informational is mapped to Info
Note: To disable Syslog messages, see “Configuring event actions” on page62.
