Min Priority for RAM (SyslogTablePriority)
System messages which have a priority equal to or greater than this setting will appear in System Log—Volatile
Memory. The lower the number next to the priority listed below, the more details system logging will provide.
Selecting priorityVerbose will generate the most messages, while selecting priorityDisable will turn off all messages.
priorityVerbose(5)
priorityDebug(10)
priorityInfo(20)
priorityOddity(40)
priorityService(60)
prioritySystem(80)
priorityDisable(1000)
Unix Facility (syslogUnixFacility)
This setting is used when syslog messages are sent to a Unix-type syslog daemon. In this case the message will
include the facility and priority coding.
Call Trace (syslogCallTrace)
Enabling this will activate the call tracing utility. This is a powerful debugging utility which will log every sin-
gle function call and return. At the death of a box the call trace will be printed out and can be sent to tech sup-
port. This utility will take a large amount of CPU power.
disable(0)—Disable function call tracing.
enable(1)—Enable function call tracing.
dump(2)—Display function call tracing on the computer monitor.
Maintain Flash Storage (syslogFlashClear)
This parameter provides two functions:
You can read the value of this parameter to learn the status of the System Log Message cache in flash mem-
ory.
You can set the value to syslogFlashClear to erase (clear) the messages in the System Log Message cache in
flash memory.
The following values are defined:
syslogFlashOK(0)—As long as the T-DAC’s flash memory is accepting system log messages, the T-DAC will
set the value of syslogFlashClear(2) to syslogFlashOK(0).
disable(0) user(1) mail(2) daemon(3) auth(4) syslog(5)
lpr(6) news(7) uucp(8) cron(9) authpriv(10) ftp(11)
