Message Logging (With Syslog) on the OnBoard
Message Filtering Levels
Messages can be filtered according to their severity, based on any or all of the
levels that the administrator can select from the following list.
• 0 - EMERG (Emergency)
•1 - ALERT
• 2 - CRIT (Critical)
•3 - ERROR
• 4 - WARNING
•5 - NOTICE
• 6 - INFO
•7 - DEBUG
Syslog Servers
Syslog servers run on operating systems that support system logging services,
usually UNIX-based servers with the syslogd configured.
Before configuring syslogging, the OnBoard administrator must ensure that
an already-configured syslog server with a public IP address is accessible
from the OnBoard. The OnBoard administrator must know the IP address of
the syslog server.
