that provides progress, status, and failure information. This information

Event Logging Using syslog
The Annex can log events for a system running a 4.3BSD-style syslog
daemon or syslog to a serial port on the Annex. The Annex parameter
syslog_port defines the port to which logged messages are sent (for more
details, see Using Event Logging on page A-37 and syslog_port on page
A-108). The logged message includes:
• The date and time of the event.
• The name or IP address of the Annex on which the event
occurred.
• The name of the event and PID of the Annex process.
• A description of the event.
