Configuring Syslog for the NAM
The NAM syslog feature enables you to forward messages generated by the alarms to either the NAM syslog
or to a remote server syslog file. This is a particularly useful feature because you can review these files to
help identify patterns and repetition of problems and events on your network. CiscoWorks and other third-
party systems support the parsing of syslog files for centralized event notification and monitoring. To enable
this feature, choose the syslog file location, local or remote, for each of the three event types: MIB
thresholds, voice, thresholds and system alerts. If you choose local, the NAM will store alert messages to its
own syslog file. If you choose to log events and alerts to remote servers, enter either the IP address or IP
host name for up to five remote servers. You can mix and match any combination of events with locations.
For example, if you have a person dedicated to managing your voice system, you may choose to forward all
voice threshold events to a server dedicated to voice management.
