Syslog
The Syslog messaging system enables the AP-600 to transmit event messages to a central server for monitoring and
troubleshooting. The access point logs "Session Start (Log-in)" and "Session Stop (Log-out)" events for each wireless
client as an alternative to RADIUS accounting.
See RFC 3164 at

Setting Syslog Event Notifications
Syslog Events are logged according to the level of detail specified by the administrator. Logging only urgent system
messages will create a far smaller, more easily read log then a log of every event the system encounters. Determine
which events to log by selecting a priority defined by the following scale:
Event
Priority
LOG_EMERG
LOG_ALERT
LOG_CRIT
LOG_ERR
LOG_WARNING
LOG_NOTICE
LOG_INFO
LOG_DEBUG
Configuring Syslog Event Notifications

•
