Configuring syslog entries

Last Updated : Dec 21, 2012 |

Use the following procedure to report system faults as syslog entries. You can set filters to determine the types of events that are reported. For example, you can report faults related to the SSL VPN service, or you can report faults related to the IP Office system.

Before you begin

You must configure a syslog client on the server where you want the system faults to be reported.

When you define a destination IP address for a fault event, the system uses an IP routing table to determine which interface to use when sending the fault event. The destination must be an IPv4 address for the notification to be correctly routed to the fault management server.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation list, click System and select the System Events tab.

    Manager displays a Configuration tab and an Alarms tab.

  2. On the Alarms tab, click Add.
  3. Select the Syslog option and enter the IP address of the server where the syslog client is configured in the IP Address field.
  4. Enter the port number of the server where the syslog client is configured in the Port field.
  5. In the Events list, choose the event filter:

    • Select Service to report faults related to the SSL VPN service.

    • Select any events related to the operation of the IP Office system that you want to receive notifications about. For information about these options, see IP Office Manager.

  6. Click OK to close the dialog box.
  7. Click OK on the Alarms tab.
  8. Click the Save icon to save the configuration changes.
