Messages Dropped
The number of messages which could not be
processed due to a lack of system resources. A
message that is dropped will not appear in the
History Table.
Max Severity Level
Indicates which syslog severity levels will be
processed. Any syslog message with a severity
value greater than this value will be ignored by
the agent. Severity numeric values increase as
their severity decreases, e.g. error (4) is more
severe than debug (8). Severity values are (1)
emergency, (2) alert, (3) critical, (4) error, (5)
warning, (6) notice, (7) info, and (8) debug.
Cisco SysLog History Table View
Access: From the Icon Subviews of the CiscSysLogApp
Application icon, select History.
This view displays the History Table which
displays the syslog messages generated by the
device.
Max Table Length
The limit on the number of entries that the
History Table may contain. A value of 0 will
prevent any history from being retained. When
this table is full, the oldest entry will be deleted
and a new one will be created.
Messages Flushed
The number of entries that have been removed
from the History Table in order to make room for
new entries. This object can be used to determine
whether your polling frequency is fast enough.
Index
An increasing integer that indexes messages.
When it reaches the maximum value, the agent
flushes the table and returns this value to 1.
Facility

message.
Severity
The severity of the message.
Message Name
A textual name for the message type. A facility
name in conjunction with a message name
uniquely identifies a message type.
Message Text
The text of the message. If the text of the message
exceeds 255 bytes, the message will be truncated
to 254 bytes and a ‘*’ character will be appended
to indicate this.
Time Stamp
The value of sysUpTime when this message was
generated.
