Step 6: System Log [Wizard]
Before setting up syslogging, make sure an already-configured syslog server
is available on the same network as the OnSite. Obtain the following
information from the syslog server’s administrator.
• The IP address of the syslog server
• The facility number for messages coming from the OnSite
See “Notifications, Alarms, and Data Buffering” on page 40, if needed,
for more background on logging and on how facility numbers are used.
You can configure syslog servers for messages relating to serial or KVM
ports, to OnSite traffic, and to IPDU events of interest in Expert mode. The
following table has links to the wizard procedures for adding and deleting a
syslog server and for other related procedures.
