Configuring A Syslog Server - Avaya G250 Administration

Configuring logging
System messages do not always indicate problems. Some messages are informational, while
others may help to diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, and
system software.
By default, all sinks are disabled. When enabled, log file and Syslog sink settings can be saved
by using the copy running-config startup-config command to save the running
configuration to the startup configuration. However, the Session sink and its settings are deleted
when the session is terminated.
You can define filters for each sink to limit the types of messages the sink receives (see
Configuring logging filters
The logging facility logs configuration commands entered through the CLI or via SNMP, as well
as system traps and informative messages concerning the behavior of various processes.
However, a user enabling the log will only see entered commands with user-level no higher than
the user's privileges. For example, a user with read-only privileges will not see entered
commands having read-write user level. In addition, the log does not display entered
information of a confidential nature, such as passwords and VPN pre-shared-keys.

Configuring a Syslog server

A Syslog server is a remote server that receives logging messages using the Syslog protocol.
This enables storage of large log files, which you can use to generate reports. You can define
up to three Syslog servers.
To define and configure a Syslog server:
1. Define the Syslog server by typing the set logging server command, followed by the
IP address of the server.
G350-001(super)# set logging server 147.2.3.66
Done!
2. Enable the Syslog server by typing the set logging server enable command,
followed by the IP address of the Syslog server. When you define a new Syslog server, it is
defined as disabled, so you must use this command in order to enable the server.
G350-001(super)# set logging server enable 147.2.3.66
Done!
