Configuring Remote Syslog Settings - Avaya B199 Installing And Administering

Maintenance
With the remote syslog feature enabled, the phone sends the syslog messages to the syslog
server and also logs them in the local log.
By default, the remote logging feature on B199 Conference Phone is in the disabled state.

Configuring remote syslog settings

About this task
To use the remote syslog feature, you need to do the following:
• Enable your phone to deliver syslog messages to the syslog server.
• Configure the destination server which receives the syslog events.
You can do this using the configuration file stored on the Device Management server. You can find
the syslog settings under the <logging> section of the configuration file.
Note:
The default syslog port is 514, and you cannot change this setting.
The <remote_syslog_host> tag can be missing in the <logging> section if you use a
configuration file exported from the phone application. This can happen because the
<remote_syslog_host> default value is blank, and the phone application does not export
blank tags.
Before you begin
Obtain the configuration .xml file for Avaya Conference Phone B199.
Procedure
1. In the configuration file, go to the <logging> section.
2. Set the value in the <remote_syslog_enable> tag to true as shown in the following
example:
<remote_syslog_enable>true</remote_syslog_enable>
3. Specify the host URL in the <remote_syslog_host> tag as shown in the following
example:
<remote_syslog_host>1.2.3.4</remote_syslog_host>
Replace the 1.2.3.4 with the IP address or hostname of your remote syslog server.
4. Save the configuration file.
Next steps
Upload the configuration file to the Device Management server or import the configuration file to
the phone using the web interface.
The phone sends syslog messages to the syslog server after the next reboot. The phone
continues sending syslog messages until you set the <remote_syslog_enable> parameter in
the configuration file to false.
