60.2.4 Configuring Syslog Debug Level

You can configure the amount of information (debug level) to include in Syslog messages.
You can also enable the device to send multiple Syslog messages bundled into a single
packet, and enable a protection mechanism that automatically lowers the debug level when
the device's CPU resources become low, ensuring sufficient CPU resources are available
for processing voice traffic.

To configure the Syslog debug level:
1. Open the Syslog Settings page (Troubleshoot menu > Troubleshoot tab > Logging
folder > Syslog Settings).
2. From the 'Debug Level' (GwDebugLevel) drop-down list, select the debug level of
Syslog messages:
•
No Debug: Disables Syslog and no Syslog messages are sent.
•
Basic: Sends debug logs of incoming and outgoing SIP messages.
•
Detailed: Sends debug logs of incoming and outgoing SIP message as well as
many other logged processes.
3. From the 'Syslog Optimization' (SyslogOptimization) drop-down list, select whether
you want the device to accumulate and bundle multiple debug messages into a single
UDP packet before sending it to a Syslog server. The benefit of the feature is that it
reduces the number of UDP Syslog packets, thereby improving (optimizing) CPU
utilization.
MaxBundleSyslogLength parameter.
4. From the 'Syslog CPU Protection' (SyslogCpuProtection) drop-down list, select
whether you want to enable the protection feature for the device's CPU resources
during debug reporting, ensuring voice traffic is unaffected. If CPU resources drop
(i.e., high CPU usage) to a critical level (user-defined threshold), the device
automatically lowers the debug level to free up CPU resources that were required for
the previous debug-level functionality. When CPU resources become available again,
the device increases the debug level to its' previous setting. For example, if you set
the 'Debug Level' to Detailed and CPU resources decrease to the defined threshold,
the device automatically changes the level to Basic, and if that is not enough, it
changes the level to No Debug. Once CPU resources are returned to normal, the
device automatically changes the debug level back to its' original setting (i.e.,
Detailed). The threshold is configured by the DebugLevelHighThreshold parameter.

60.2.5 Configuring Reporting of Management User Activities

The device can report operations (activities) performed in the device's management
interfaces (e.g., Web and CLI) by management users, in Syslog messages. The Syslog
message indicates these logs with the string "Activity Log". Each logged user activity
includes the following information:
