# System Log

Device>Configure>System Log

Use the System Log Configuration feature to specify whether system log messages should be sent to the console.

Notification Enabled (clogNotificationsEnabled)

Indicates whether clogMessageGenerated notifications will or will not be sent when a syslog message is generated by the device. Disabling notifications does not prevent syslog messages from being added to the clogHistoryTable.

Min. Severity into Log (clogMaxSeverity)

Indicates which syslog severity levels will be processed: emergency (1), alert (2), critical (3), error (4), warning (5), notice (6), info (7), or debug (8). Any syslog message with a severity value greater than these values are ignored by the agent. Note: severity numeric values increase as their severity decreases, e.g., error (4) is more sever than debug (8).

Maximum Number of Log Entries (clogHistTableMaxLength)

The upper limit on the number of entries that the clogHistoryTable may contain. A value of 0 will prevent any history from being retained. When this table is full, the oldest entry will be deleted and a new one will be created.

System Log Console (syslogConsoleEnable)

Indicates whether the system log messages should be sent to console.

System Log Server (syslogHostEnable)

Indicates whether the system log server is enabled or disabled.

Click Apply to make your changes to these two values take effect.

System Log Server's IP (syslogServerAddr)

IP address of a system log server.

Click Create to add a new IP Address entry to this table, or click Delete to remove a selected entry.

Click Cancel to close the dialog box without making any changes. Click Print to print the contents of the dialog box.

Use the System Log History (clogHistTable) feature to populate the System Log history table in which clogHistTable can store up to the maximum clogHistTableMaxLength message entries.

Generation Time (clogHistTimestamp)

Indicates the sysUpTime at which this message was generated.

Severity (clogHistSeverity)

Indicates the severity of the message; emergency (1), alert (2), critical (3), error (4), warning (5), notice (6), info (7), or debug (8). Any syslog message with a severity value greater than these values are ignored by the agent.

Type (clogHistMsgName)

A textual identification of the message type.

Description (clogHistMsgText)

The message itself.

Generator (clogHistFacility)

The name of the facility that generated this message, e.g., SYS.
