Syslog Event Monitoring
Syslog is an event-monitoring scheme that is especially popular in UNIX environments.
Sites that use syslog typically have a log host node, which acts as a sink (repository) for
several devices on the network. You must have a syslog daemon operating in your
network to use syslog monitoring. The syslog format is:
Date Time Hostname Event.
Most clients using syslog have multiple devices sending messages to a single syslog
daemon. This allows viewing a single chronological event log of all of the devices
assigned to the syslog daemon. An event on one network device might trigger an event on
other network devices, which, on occasion, can point out faulty equipment.
Note: The SG appliance must know the host name or IP address of your SMTP mail
gateway to mail event messages to the e-mail address(es) you have entered. If you do not
have access to an SMTP gateway, you can use the Blue Coat default SMTP gateway to
send event messages directly to Blue Coat.
The Blue Coat SMTP gateway only sends mail to Blue Coat. It will not forward mail to
other domains.
