Path: Logs > Syslog > test
Send a test message to the Syslog servers configured through the servers option.
1. Select a severity to assign to the test message.
2. Define the test message, according to the required message fields
– The priority (PRI): the Syslog priority assigned to the message’s event, and the facility code of
messages sent by the PDU.
– The Header: a time stamp and the IP address of the PDU.
– The message (MSG) part:
• The TAG field, followed by a colon and space, identifies the event type.
• The CONTENT field is the event text, followed (optionally) by a space and the event
code.
For example,
APC: Test Syslog is valid.
Queries (SNMP GETs)
See “SNMP traps” on page 89 for a description of SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 settings that enable an NMS
to perform informational queries. With SNMPv1, which does not encrypt data before transmission,
configuring the most restrictive SNMP access type (READ) enables informational queries without
allowing remote configuration changes.
Administration: General Options
