Modify Syslog Server Settings

The Edit Syslog Server Page contains fields for modifying Remote Log Server settings.
The Edit Syslog Server Page contains the following fields:
• Server — Specifies the name of the Remote Log Server to which logs can be sent.
• UDP Port — Defines the UDP port to which the server logs are sent. The possible range is 1
to 65535. The default value is 514.
• Facility — Defines a user-defined application from which system logs are sent to the remote
server. Only one facility can be assigned to a single server. If a second facility level is
assigned, the first facility is overridden. All applications defined for a device utilize the same
facility on a server. The field default is Local 7. The possible field values are
Local 0 - Local 7.
• Description — Provides a user-defined server description.
• Severity to Include — Indicates the minimum severity level for logs that are sent to the server.
For example, if Notice is selected, all logs from a Notice severity and higher are sent to the
remote server.
The following are the available log severity levels:
– Emergency — The highest warning level. If the device is down or not functioning
properly, an emergency log message is saved to the specified logging location.
– Alert — The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved, if there is a serious
device malfunction; for example, all device features are down.
– Critical — The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical device
malfunction occurs; for example, two device ports are not functioning, while the rest of
the device ports remain functional.
– Error — A device error has occurred, for example, if a single port is offline.
