VoIP Gateway

5.9 Logging

The VoIP Gateway can record significant events during operation. External logging is

disabled by default (Off) but you can still view log messages in real time and display the

syslog in a web browser by clicking the Syslog link on the Diagnostics > Logging page. This

is an immediate view, constantly updated and will be lost unless they are saved.

Figure 15. Logging

Saving the Syslog

There are four ways of saving the syslog permanently:

• Transfer the Syslog entries to a TCP program.

The VoIP Gateway writes the Syslog entries to a TCP connection. The other end of the

TCP link is then responsible for further evaluating of the entries.

• Store the Syslog entries in a “syslogd”.

The entries are reported to a “syslogd” server in the network. The server is then

responsible for further evaluation or storage.

• Store the Syslog entries in a Web server.

The syslog entries are transferred to a web server where they can be further processed.

Each individual syslog entry is transmitted as form data to the web server in HTTP GET

format.

• Store the Syslog entries into the /log directory on a local CF card, if used

Log files named LOG0.n are created, where n goes from 0 to 3. The next log file is

created when either the max file size is reached or the backup time has passed.

LOG0.0 is always the newest log file.

See 15 Diagnostics on page 107 for more information.

Alarm and Event Handling

Alarm and event forwarding are configured on the area Alarm and Event Forward Server,

independently from the handling of log messages.

If no Forward Server is configured, alarms and events are stored locally as specified in the

Local Alarm and Event Queues area. Otherwise, alarms and events are additionally

forwarded to the external server using HTTP requests. Each individual alarm or event entry

is transferred to the server as an individual request.
