Syslog
Path: Logs > Syslog > options
The PDU can send messages to up to four Syslog servers when an event occurs. The Syslog servers
record events that occur at network devices in a log that provides a centralized record of events.
This user’s guide does not describe Syslog or its configuration values in detail. See RFC3164 for more
information about Syslog.

514, the UDP port assigned to Syslog.
Setting Definition
Message
Generation
Enables (by default) or disables the Syslog feature.
Facility Code Selects the facility code assigned to the PDU’s Syslog messages (User, by default).
Note: User best defines the Syslog messages sent by the PDU. Do not change this selection
unless advised to do so by the Syslog network or system administrator.
Severity
Mapping
Maps each severity level of PDU or Environment events to available Syslog priorities. You
should not need to change the mappings.
The following definitions are from RFC3164:
• Emergency: The system is unusable
• Alert: Action must be taken immediately
• Critical: Critical conditions
• Error: Error conditions
• Warning: Warning conditions
• Notice: Normal but significant conditions
• Informational: Informational messages
• Debug: Debug-level messages
Following are the default settings for the four Local Priority
settings:
• Severe is mapped to Critical
• Warning is mapped to Warning
• Informational is mapped to Info
Note: To disable Syslog messages, see “Configuring event actions” on page 41.
