11. Syslog Messages

The Syslog feature can create log records of each Alarm Event. As these event records are created, they are sent to a Syslog Daemon, located at an IP address defined via the Network Parameters menu.

11.1. Configuration

In order to employ this feature, you must set the real-time clock and calendar via the System Parameters Menu, and define the IP address for the Syslog Daemon via the Network Port Configuration menu.

To configure the Syslog function, please proceed as follows:

1.Access command mode: Note that the following configuration menus are only available to accounts that permit Administrator level commands.

2.System Parameters Menu: Access the System Parameters Menu as described in Section 5.3, then set the following parameters:

a)Set Clock and Calendar: Set the Real Time Clock and Calendar and/or configure and enable the NTP server feature.

3.Network Parameters Menu: Access the Network Parameters Menu as described in Section 5.9, then set the following parameters:

a)Syslog IP Address: Determine the IP address for the device that will run the Syslog Daemon, then use the Network Port Configuration menu to define the IP Address for the Syslog Daemon.

4.Syslog Daemon: In order to capture messages sent by the AFS-16, a computer must be running a Syslog Daemon (set to UDP Port 514) at the IP address specified in Step 3 above.

Once the Syslog Address is defined, Syslog messages will be generated whenever one of the alarms discussed in Section 7 is triggered.
