System Logging Conﬁguration

Syslog event reporting uses the syslog protocol to relay event messages to a centralized event server on

the enterprise network. In the protocol, a device generates messages, a relay receives and forwards the

messages, and a syslog server receives the messages.

System Log Level

Determines the error severity that is logged for the appliance and AP. Select the least severe log

level that you want to receive: Information, Minor, Major, Critical. For example, if you select Minor,

you receive all Minor, Major and Critical messages. If you select Major you receive all Major and

Critical messages. The default is Minor.

Enable Report Station Events to collect and display station session events on the Extreme Campus

Controller station events log.

Enable Forward Station Events as Traps to notify the administrator of events without solicitation.

An SNMP trap is an event notiﬁcation sent by the managed agent (a network device) to the

management system to identify the occurrence of conditions. Traps can save network resources by

reducing SNMP polling.

Syslog

Provide the IP Address of 1-3 syslog servers and enable the type of messages that you want to send

to the syslog servers.

• Send all Service Messages

• Send Audit Messages

• Send Station Events

Note

To synchronize the logs, the syslog daemon must be running on both the appliance and

on the remote syslog server. When you change the log level on the appliance, you must

modify the appropriate setting in the syslog conﬁguration on remote syslog server.

Facility Codes

Facilities codes identify log streams in the remote syslog server. Select a unique facility code (local.0

- local.6) for each Extreme Campus Controller facility to dierentiate the log streams and facilitate

the ﬁltering of messages.

The facility code applies to all three servers. Select a facility code for each of the following:

• Application Facility

• Service Facility

• Audit Facility

• Station Facility
