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, 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, then set the
following parameters:
a) Syslog IP Addresses: Determine the IP addresses for the devices that will
run the primary and secondary Syslog Daemons, then use the Network Port
Configuration menu to define the IP Addresses for the Syslog Daemons.
Notes:
• The Network Parameters Menu allows the definition of IP addresses for both
a primary Syslog Daemon and an optional secondary Syslog Daemon.
• The Ping Test function can be used to ping the user-selected Syslog IP
Addresses to verify that valid IP addresses have been entered. In order
for the Ping Test feature to function, your network and/or firewall must be
configured to allow ping commands.
4. Syslog Daemon: In order to capture messages sent by the AFS, 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.
