Local And Remote Logs; The Logs Screen - Spectracom SecureSync 1200 User Reference Manual

4.5 Quality Management
The NTP throughput statistics data can be utilized to calculate mean values and the standard
deviation.
Example log entries include:
Synchronized to (IP address), stratum=1 : NTP is synchronizing to another Stratum 1
NTP server.
ntp exiting on signal 15 : This log entry indicates NTP is now indicating to the network
that it is a Stratum 15 time server because it is not synchronized to its selected reference.
Time reset xxxxx s : These entries indicate time corrections (in seconds) applied to NTP.
No servers reachable : NTP cannot locate any of its configured NTP servers.
Synchronized to PPS(0), stratum=0 : NTP is synchronized using the PPS reference clock
driver (which provides more stable NTP synchronization).

Local and Remote Logs

SecureSync logs are all stored internally by default. With the exception of the NTP log, all logs
can also be configured to be stored externally, if desired.
The log entries for the logs can also be configured to be automatically sent to a Syslog Server
for external log storage. In order for these logs to be sent to a Syslog server, each desired log
needs to be configured for Syslog operation. With the exception of the Authentication and NTP
logs, all log setup options can be configured from the Logs Configuration page.
In each log, entries appear with the most recent events first (i.e., in reverse chronological order,
starting from the top).
To set up a remote log server, see "Setting up a Remote Log Server" on page 299.
