Syslog
You can use the Syslog form to configure how the console server handles system-logged
messages. The Syslog form allows you to perform the following:
• Specify one or more syslog servers to receive syslog messages related to ports.
• Specify rules for filtering messages.
The top field on the form CAS Ports Facility is used to tell the console server where to send
syslogmessages.
You can specify a facility number for the messages from serial ports. Obtain the facility
numbers from the syslog server’s administrator.
You can send the syslog messages:
• 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
• To one or more syslog servers
You can add or remove syslog servers.
The bottom part of the form has filtering rules for specifying which types of messages are
forwarded based on the following criteria:
• Severity level: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, Debug
• Category CAS log; Data Buffering log; Web log or System log
To configure syslogging for serial ports and specify message filtering:
1. Go to Network - Syslog in Expert mode. The Syslog form appears.
2. Select a facility number for messages generated by serial ports by selecting the number
from the CAS Ports Facility pull-down menu.
3. Select a destination for the syslog messages by clicking the checkbox next to one or all of
the options: Console, Root User or Server.
4. Add a syslog server to the Syslog Servers list, by entering its IP address in the New Syslog
Server field and clicking Add.
5. Configure the message filtering as per your requirements.
6. Click apply changes.
