Receiving Syslog Events
To receive syslog events, you need to configure a device to send syslog traps to the OpenManage
Network Manager (OMNM) application.
Receive syslog events by configuring your device to send syslog traps to the OMNM application as
follows.
1 Configure a device to send syslog to the appserver.
For a Dell S5000 switch (10.128.6.22), add
logging 192.168.0.138 .

logging trap debugging
logging 192.168.54.43
logging 10.35.35.201
logging 10.35.35.78
logging 192.168.50.200
logging 192.168.0.138
Verify that the Event History portlet shows the SyslogNotification event name for the defined
entity.
The syslogNotification default behavior is suppress. Because we receive many
syslogNotifications, you can set the event to Reject after confirming the use case. For Cisco,
the syslog event may use clogMessageGenerated.
Matching Text from a syslogNotification Event
This example matches specific text from an event and associates it to a category by creating a
Syslog Escalation rule in the Event Processing Rule portlet.
Match text from a syslogNotification event as follows.
1 Extract the port information from a syslog message.
