Remote Log Server - Cisco WAP125 Administrator's Manual

Remote Log Server

Enabling persistent logging can wear out the flash (nonvolatile) memory and degrade network performance.
Caution
Only enable persistent logging to debug a problem. Make sure that you disable persistent logging after
you finish debugging the problem.
Configuring the Persistent Log
Step 1 Select Notification > Log Settings.
Step 2
Configure these parameters:
• Persistence — Check Enable to save system logs to the nonvolatile memory so that the logs are kept when the
WAP device reboots. You can save up to 1000 log messages. When the limit of 1000 is reached, the oldest log
message is overwritten by the newest message. Clear this field to save system logs to volatile memory. Logs in
volatile memory are deleted when the system reboots.
• Severity — Select the severity from the drop-down list (Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice,
Info or Debug) used to filter the event messages that will be saved in the nonvolatile memory. All other messages
will be saved in the volatile memory.
• Depth — Enter the maximum number of messages, up to 1000, that can be stored in volatile memory. When the
number that you configure in this field is reached, the oldest log event is overwritten by the newest log event.
Step 3 Click Save.
Remote Log Server
The kernel log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System Log) and kernel messages.
You cannot view the kernel log messages directly from the configuration utility. You must first set up a remote
log server to receive and capture the logs. Then, you can configure the WAP device to log to the remote log
server. The WAP device supports up to two remote log servers.
The remote log server collection for the syslog messages provides these features:
• Allows aggregation of syslog messages from multiple APs.
• Stores a longer history of messages than is kept on a single WAP device.
• Triggers scripted management operations and alerts.
To specify a host on your network to serve as a remote log server:
Step 1 Select Notification > Log Settings.
Step 2 In the Remote Log Server Table, configure the following parameters:
• Server IPv4/IPv6 Address/Name — Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address, or the host name of the remote log server.
