If it has been configured to do so, the T-DAC can also send Syslog and SNMP trap messages to an external alarm
management host. This section describes how to configure the Syslog and/or SNMP trap alarm response outputs.
Figure 17. Modify Parameters and Modify Severity links on Alarm System Overview window
Click on Modify Parameters (see figure 17) to open the Alarm System Configuration window (see figure 16).
Choose the alarm response output that you wish to configure. After defining the value for a desired alarm response
output parameter, click the Modify button to the right of the parameter you just modified.
The following sections describe the Alarm Response Output parameters.
Alarm Syslog Priority (syslogAlarmPriority)
Syslog is a protocol that enables the T-DAC to send event notification messages across IP networks to event mes-
sage collectors (also known as Syslog Servers or Syslog Daemons). The Alarm Syslog Priority parameter defines what
priority level an event must be at before the T-DAC sends a message to the Syslog daemon. The levels are:
• priorityDisable(1000)
• prioritySystem(80)
• priorityService(60)
• priorityOddity(40)
• priorityInfo(20)
• priorityDebug(10)
• priorityVerbose(5)
Note
Unless instructed to do otherwise by Patton Technical Support, you
should leave the Alarm Syslog priority set for prioritySystem(80)
(which will only generate a Syslog message for incidents greater than
the System priority level) or priorityDisable(1000) (which deactivates
Syslog message sending).
For more information on Syslog messages, refer to chapter “System Log” on page 274.
Board Temperature Threshold (boxAlarmTemperature)
An alarm message is generated when the internal box temperature exceeds this value in degrees Celsius. You can
change the threshold temperature, but we recommend using the factory default of 55°C (131°F).
