Using Syslog Messaging to Monitor Router Events

303561-A Rev 00

C-37

Parameter: Host Operational State

Attribute Name: wfSyslogHostOperState

Attribute Number: 7

Default: 2 (inactive host)

Options: 1 (active)

2 (inactive)

Function: Indicates the operational state of this Syslog host entry on the router. If

the state is active, Syslog is filtering and forwarding messages to the host

at the IP address for this entry (

). If the state is

inactive, Syslog is not filtering or forwarding messages for any of the

following reasons:

• Syslog has been disabled (wfSyslogDisable = 2).

• This entry in the Syslog host table has been disabled.

• This entry has no configured filters.

• No filter entries for this host are active.

• Too many Syslog host entries are already active. (The number of

configured hosts is greater than the value of wfSyslogMaxHosts.)

Instructions: Examine the value of wfSyslogHostOperState to determine whether or

not Syslog is forwarding any messages to the host associated with this

wfSyslogHostEntry.
