Setting Up a Syslog Server
You can specify a syslog server. Syslog facilities are identifiers that allow a
syslog server to handle different syslog messages from different sources.
You can use a facility in the range of Local 0 through Local 7.
To set up a syslog server
1 Do one of the following:
 Open the WX Switch wizard, then select Syslog Server under
Management Services in the organizer list of the System and
Administrative page.
 In the Organizer panel, select Management Services under a WX
switch, then select Config > Edit. Click on Syslog Server at the top
of the wizard.
2 Click New Syslog Server. The Create Syslog Server dialog box appears.
3 In IP Address, type the IP address of the syslog server.
4 In the Severity Filter list, select the lowest level of severity of the event or
condition to be logged (see the list in step 2 of “Setting Up System
Logging” on page 215). The default severity level is Error.
5 To map all the facilities to a standard local facility, select Facility
Mapping.
Some syslog servers require the facility to be set to a standard local facility
name.
6 In the Map to Local Facility List, select the local facility (Local 0 to Local 7)
that all the facilities are mapped to. The default value is Local 0.
7 To close the Create Syslog Server dialog box, click Finish. The syslog
server is added to the list of servers on the Syslog Server Setup page.
8 To add more syslog servers, repeat step 2 through step 7. You can add a
maximum of four syslog servers.
