Syslog

The Syslog messaging system enables the AP 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 http://www.rfc-editor.org

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 than a log of every event the system encounters. Determine
which events to log by selecting a priority defined by the following scale:
Event
LOG_EMERG
LOG_ALERT
LOG_CRIT
LOG_ERR
LOG_WARNING 4
LOG_NOTICE
LOG_INFO
LOG_DEBUG
Configuring Syslog Event Notifications
You can configure the following Syslog settings from the HTTP interface:
• Enable Syslog: Place a check mark in the box provided to enable system logging.
• Syslog Port Number: This field is read-only and displays the port number (514) assigned for system logging.
