• Triggers scripted management operations and alerts
To specify a host on your network to serve as a remote log server:
Select Administration > Log Settings in the navigation pane.
Configure the parameters:
• Remote Log—Enables the AP to send log messages to a remote host. When disabled,
all log messages are kept on the local system.
• Server IPv4/IPv6 Address/Name—The IPv4 or IPv6 address, or the hostname of the
remote log server.
A hostname can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63 alphanumeric
characters. If a hostname includes multiple labels, each is separated by a period (.). The
entire series of labels and periods can be up to 253 characters long.
• UDP Port—The logical port number for the syslog process on the remote host. The
range is from 1 to 65535. The default port is 514.
Using the default port is recommended. If you choose to reconfigure the log port, make
sure that the port number you assign to syslog is available for use.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
If you enabled a Remote Log host, clicking Save activates remote logging. The WAP device
sends its kernel messages real-time for display to the remote log server monitor, a specified
kernel log file, or other storage, depending on your configurations.
If you disabled a Remote Log host, clicking Save disables remote logging.
After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and restarted. When
this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We recommend that you change WAP
device settings when a loss of connectivity will least affect your wireless clients.
Use the email alert feature to send messages to the configured email addresses when particular
system events occur.
The feature supports mail server configuration, message severity configuration, and up to
three email address configurations to send urgent and non-urgent email alerts.
