Syslog Compatible Feed
You typically see alarms from the following sources:
• Nodes
• Processes
• Connections
• Peripherals
• Sessions/Links
Since the Serial Alarm Feed is an alarm process, only events that have triggered
a state change in an object are forwarded to the communications port. All other
events are discarded. For example, if a process stops, an alarm is generated and
forwarded to the communications port. All subsequent alarms indicating that the
process has stopped are discarded. When the process restarts, another alarm is
generated. The latest alarm indicates a state change, so it is forwarded to the
communications port.
Syslog Compatible Feed
The ICM system supports the Syslog event reporting mechanism for
CiscoWorks 2000. If you are using CiscoWorks 2000 for monitoring other Cisco
products, you can optionally add the ICM system by configuring the ICM Logger
for CiscoWorks 2000 support. Please refer to the CiscoWorks 2000
documentation for details on how to add the ICM system as a managed device.
Figure 7-2 shows an example CiscoWorks 2000 Syslog ICM report.
CiscoWorks 2000 Syslog event reports show the EMS event data in a web
browser.
