The Server Log screen contains the following fields:
• Server IP – Enter the server’s IP address to which logs can be sent.
• UDP Port – Enter the UDP port to which the server logs are sent. The possible range is 1
- 65535. The default value is 514.
• Facility – Select an application from which device logs are sent to the remote server. Only
one facility can be assigned to a single server. If a second facility level is assigned, the first
facility is overridden. All applications defined for a device utilize the same facility on a
server. The field default is Local 0. The possible field values are Local 0 - Local 7.
• Description – Enter a user-defined server description.
• Minimum Severity – Select the minimum severity level for which logs are sent to the
server. For example, if Notice is selected, all logs with a severity level of Notice and
higher are sent to the remote server. The default value is Informational. The possible field
values are:
– Emergency – Displays the highest warning level. If the system is down or not
functioning properly, an emergency log message is saved to the specified logging
location.
– Alert – Indicates the system needs immediate attention. Alert is the second highest
warning level. An alert log is saved, if there is a serious device malfunction; for
example, all device features are down.
– Critical – Indicates the system is in a critical state. Critical is the third highest warning
level. A critical log is saved if a critical device malfunction occurs; for example, two
device ports are not functioning, while the rest of the device ports remain functional.
– Error – Indicates a device error has occurred; for example, if a single port is offline.
– Warning – Displays the lowest level of a device warning. The device is functioning,
but an operational problem has occurred.
– Notice – Indicates the system is functioning properly, but a system notice is logged.
