Syslog Server Configuration - D-Link DWC-2000 User Manual

Section 10 - Troubleshooting
Path: Maintenance > Logs Settings > Syslog Server
An external Syslog server is often used by network administrator to collect and store logs from the wireless
controller. This remote device typically has less memory constraints than the local Event Viewer on the wireless
controller's web management interface. Therefore, a number of logs can be collected over a sustained period.
This is useful for debugging network issues or to monitor controller traffic over a long duration.
The wireless controller supports 8 concurrent Syslog servers. Each server can be configured to receive different log
facility messages of varying severity using the Remote Logging page. This page also lets you send configuration
logs to three email recipients.
To enable a Syslog server, click the ON/OFF switch next to an empty Syslog server field and enter an IP address or FQDN
in the Name field. The selected facility and severity level messages are sent to the configured (and enabled) Syslog server
after you save the settings on this page.

Syslog Server Configuration

Syslog Server Configuration
To have the wireless controller send logs to a Syslog server, check one or more boxes.
You can check up to 8 Syslog servers and use them concurrently.
Enter the IP address or Internet Name of the Syslog server.
For each syslog server, select a unique facility for logging. Facility values are defined
in RFC 3164. Choices are:
• All
• Kernel
• System
Select the appropriate Syslog severity. When a severity is selected, all Syslogs with
severity equal to or greater than the chosen severity are logged on the configured
Syslog Server.
