When Configuration>Network>Syslog is selected in Expert mode, the screen shown in the following figure appears.An administrative user can use the Syslog screen to configure how the OnSite handles syslog messages. The Syslog screen allows you to do the following:
• One facility number can be specified for messages from serial ports and AUX ports and another facility number for messages from KVM ports.See Facility Numbers for Syslog Messages for details.Obtain the facility numbers to use from the syslog server’s administrator. See “To Add a Syslog Server [Wizard] for how a syslog server is configured for the OnSite. The same server or different syslog servers and the same or duplicate facility numbers can be specified according to your site’s configuration.
• Syslog messages can be sent to the console port (for logging the messages even if no user is logged in); to all sessions where the root user is logged in, or to one or more syslog servers.The bottom of the screen has checkboxes for specifying which types of messages are forwarded based on the following criteria:
• Their severity level: “Emergency,” “Alert,” “Critical,” “Error,” “Warning,” “Notice,” “Info,” “Debug”
• Their category “CAS/AUX log;” “KVM log;” “Data Buffering log;” “Web log;” or “System log.”To Configure Syslogging and Message Filtering [Expert]
