Configuring the Syslog Service

The procedures in this section describe how to perform the following Syslog configuration tasks:
•
Specify a SyslogD server. You can configure the HP device to use up to six SyslogD servers. (Use of a
SyslogD server is optional. The system can hold up to 100 Syslog messages in an internal buffer.)
•
Change the level of messages the system logs.
•
Change the number of messages the local Syslog buffer can hold.
•
Display the Syslog configuration.
•
Clear the local Syslog buffer.
Logging is enabled by default, with the following settings:
•
Messages of all severity levels (Emergencies – Debugging) are logged.
•
Up to 50 messages are retained in the local Syslog buffer.
•
No SyslogD server is specified.
Syslog Overview
The HP device's software can write syslog messages to provide information at the following severity levels:
•
Emergencies
•
Alerts
•
Critical
•
Errors
•
Warnings
•
Notifications
•
Informational
•
Debugging
The device writes the messages to a local buffer that can hold up to 100 messages. You also can specify the IP
address or host name of up to six SyslogD servers. When you specify a SyslogD server, the HP device writes the
messages both to the system log and to the SyslogD server.
Using a SyslogD server ensures that the messages remain available even after a system reload. The HP device's
local Syslog buffer is cleared during a system reload or reboot, but the Syslog messages sent to the SyslogD
server remain on the server.
