Syslog Feature, Configuration | Western Telematic RSM-32DC specs

9. The Syslog Feature

The Syslog feature can create time-stamped log records of each buffer 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.

Note:

•The Syslog Function is only available to Buffer Mode ports.

•This option is not available to RS232 Port 1, which is reserved as a System SetUp Port, and therefore cannot be configured as a Buffer Mode Port.

9.1.Configuration

The Syslog function is individually configured for each RSM RS232 Port. If you wish to employ this feature, it must be enabled at each desired port using the Port Parameters menus. You must also 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 and ports that permit Supervisor commands.

2.System Parameters Menu: Type /F [Enter] to access the System Parameters Menu. Set the following parameters:

a)Set Clock and Calendar: Use the Systems Parameters menu to set the Real Time Clock and Calendar and/or configure and enable the NTP server feature. If desired, the RSM can time stamp each Syslog message that is sent, as described in Step 4.

3.Port Parameters Menu: Access the Port Parameters Menu for the desired port as described in Section 5.7.2, and then set the following parameters:

a)Port Mode: Set the Port Mode to "Buffer."

b)Syslog Function: Enable the Syslog Function. The Syslog Function allows you to select either "On - Not Connected" (messages are only sent when a user is not connected to the Buffer port) or "On - Always" (all captured data is sent, whether a user is connected to the Buffer port or not.)

c)Syslog Facility and Level: If desired, set the Facility and Level (priority) for messages sent by this port.
