The Avaya Multiservice switches supports syslog event reporting. This feature makes it possible to forward specific system events to remote devices to be logged. You select the classes and severity of events that you want forwarded. The remote devices must run a syslog daemon and are called syslog servers or collectors.
Table�164 describes the different syslog severity levels. The switch logs error messages of the severity that you set and of all higher severities. For example, if you set the severity to Warning, error messages of severities Warning, Error, Alert, and Emergency are logged.
You can specify a maximum of three remote syslog servers. Syslog messages from the Avaya Multiservice switch are unidirectional. No acknowledgement is expected from the syslog server.
Note: If you enable syslog event reporting, Avaya recommends that you enable Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) on the switch and on the remote syslog servers. For information on SNTP, see "Enabling the Simple Network Time Protocol" in Chapter 3:�Configuring System Information.
You can also set the event types, also called "facilities," for which syslog events are generated. For more information, see "Configuring Event Notification."
