Logging overview
The Avaya G250/G350 Media Gateway includes a logging package that collects system
messages in several output types. Each of these types is called a sink. When the system
generates a logging message, the message can be sent to each sink that you have enabled.

Description
Logging messages are sent to up to three configured servers, using
Syslog protocol as defined in RFC 3164. Messages sent to the Syslog
server are sent as UDP messages.
Logging data is saved in the flash memory. These compressed, cyclic files
serve as the system logging database.
Logging messages are sent to the terminal screen:
For a local connection - messages appear online on the local
●
terminal.
For a remote Telnet/SSH connection - messages appear online on
●
the remote terminal.
This sink is deleted whenever a session ends.
