Remote Syslog - Hirschmann NetModule AP3400 User Manual

Remote Syslog

When remote syslog is enabled, the device will be collecting device log messages in a log file.
– Instant logging to file - the log file will be appended everytime new log messages are available.
The log file will be saved on device flash memory. By a serial or SSH connection that file can be
accessed under "/etc/logread.out" address.
– Periodic logging to file - the log file will be appended every once in a specified period (in minutes).
– Remote server - the system log will be collected on a remote syslog server. Many open-source
syslog server applications are available.
– Protocol - TCP, UDP
– Server address - the IP address or hostname of the remote syslog server.
– Port - the port that will be used.
– Log prefix - prefix used by syslog server to organize the information.
Ping Watchdog
When the ping watchdog is enabled, the device will try to periodically ping selected IP addresses.
When these addresses are unreachable, the device will be rebooted. This service is useful as a last
resort mechanism that tries to recover the device when something unexpected happens in the network.
– Ping interval - the amount of time in seconds the service will try to ping selected IP addresses.
– Startup delay - the amount of time in seconds the service will wait after startup before starting
the ping sequence. This is useful when network setup takes a while, for example when DHCP is
enabled.
– Failure count - device will reboot after this amount of failures to ping.
– IP address to ping - these IP addresses will be pinged periodically. If multiple IPs are entered,
the device will only reboot if all of them are unreachable.
