Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface 89
1 Open a supported Web browser window.
2 Log in to iDRAC6 Web interface.
3 In the system tree, select System → Setup tab → Remote Syslog Settings .
The
Remote Syslog Settings screen is displayed.
Table 4-28 lists the Remote Syslog settings.
NOTE: The severity levels defined by the Remote Syslog protocol differ from the
standard IPMI System Event Log (SEL) severity levels. Hence all iDRAC6 Remote
Syslog entries are reported in the syslog server with severity level as Notice.
The following example shows the configuration objects and the RACADM
command usage to change remote syslog settings:
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogEnable [1/0] ; default is 0
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogServer1 <
servername1 > ; default is
blank
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogServer2 <
servername2 >; default is
blank
racadm config –g cfgRemoteHosts –o
cfgRhostsSyslogServer3 <
servername3 >; default is
blank
