Send a test message to the Syslog servers configured through the servers option.
1. Select a severity to assign to the test message.
2. Define the test message, according to the required message fields
– The priority (PRI): the Syslog priority assigned to the message’s event, and the facility code of
messages sent by the Management Card.
– The Header: a time stamp and the IP address of the Management Card.
– The message (MSG) part:
• The TAG field, followed by a colon and space, identifies 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.
