Appendix C Event Log Messages

Message Formats

Event messages appear in either the default format or in the Cisco EMBLEM format. These sections

describe the formats:

• Default Format

• Cisco Emblem Format

Default Format

This is the default format for syslog messages:

sysname time (severity): description

where:

• sysname = the system name (MIB2 OID sysName)

• time (wallclock) = YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS

• time (elapsed, less than 1 day) = HH:MM:SS

• time (elapsed, equal to 1 day) = 1 day, HH:MM:SS

• time (elapsed, greater than 1 day) = n days, HH:MM:SS

In the default format, messages look like this example:

dhcp-10-91-7-22 00:00:18 (Warning): Lost Authentication with Paren

Cisco Emblem Format

When you select yes for the Should Syslog Messages use the Cisco EMBLEM Format setting on the Event

Notifications Setup page, the access point generates EMBLEM (Baseline Manageability Specification)

standard compliant syslog messages. This is the format for EMBLEM messages:

ipaddress Counter: [yyyy mmm dd hh:mm:ss TimeZone +/-hh:mm]:

%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text

Without a timestamp, messages look like this example:

192.168.1.12 83: %APBR-6-STA_ASSOC_OK: [AP350-12] Station [TEST-LPT]000750abcd2a

Associated

With a timestamp, messages look like this example:

192.168.1.12 85: 2002 SEP 12 13:52:12 PST -08:00: %APBR-6-STA_ASSOC_OK: [AP350-12] Station

[TEST-LPT]000750abcd2a Associated

Messages in the EMBLEM format follow these conventions:

• The timestamp is optional and is included only when the wall clock time is set on the access point.

• The facility code for all messages is APBR. An optional subfacility code is not used.

• Syslog message severity is calculated according to the following table:
