The Avaya Multiservice switches supports syslog event reporting. This
feature makes it possible to forward specific system events to remote
devices to be logged. You select the classes and severity of events that you
want forwarded. The remote devices must run a syslog daemon and are
called syslog servers or collectors.
Table 21-6 describes the different syslog severity levels. The switch logs
error messages of the severity that you set and of all higher severities. For
example, if you set the severity to Warning, error messages of severities
Warning, Error, Alert, and Emergency are logged.
