Syslog Messages
The console server may generate syslog messages to enable system administrators to monitor
system changes. Syslog messages are generated when specific actions are performed or certain
conditions are met through user entered commands. The system generates and sends messages to a
syslog server using the following format.
•
Tag - a fixed string used by the user to create filters
EVT[<event number>]:
• Text - the text that contains the condition or action
You may use the information provided in the CYCLADES-ACS5000-TRAP-MIB.ASN to create
filters and generate alarms about the console server events.
DCD ON/OFF Syslog Messages
The console server may generate an alert when a serial console cable is removed from the console
server or when the serially attached server is turned off. Also, when a modem is connected, this
feature may detect if the modem is still turned on and active.
The DCD signal is monitored and a syslog message is generated when the state of the signal
changes. The syslog message may be handled by syslog-ng to generate an event notification.
To configure DCD syslog messages:
1. Open the /etc/portslave/pslave.conf file.
# vi /etc/portslave/pslave.conf
2. Set the all.dcd or sXX.dcd parameter to 1 in the /etc/portslave/pslave.conf file.
all.dcd 1
-or-
sXX.dcd 1
Where XX is the desired port number.
3. Configure the event_notif conf file to monitor DCD status.
The following example displays generating syslog messages if the DCD signal changes its
state.
9=2
10=2
4. Save the configuration.
# saveconf
