Enable System Logging
This feature sends event log messages to a remote Syslog server. The
messages from the Dominion SX unit are sent to the LOCAL0 channel of
the Syslog server for more efficient parsing. To set this feature up:
1. Go to the System Logging panel and click the Enable System
Logging checkbox. (To turn this feature off, clear this checkbox.)
2. Type the IP address of the remote Syslog server in the Primary IP
Address field.
3. If you have a backup Syslog server, types its IP address in the
Secondary IP Address field.
4. Click OK.
Enable Port Syslog
This feature enables port data to be logged to a syslog server. Output
from all ports will be logged to the same file in syslog. Please use NFS
Port Logging if you prefer separate files for each port's data.
To enable Port Syslog:
1. Go to the System Logging panel and select the Enable Port Syslog
checkbox. To turn this feature off, deselect this checkbox.
2. Select a channel from the drop-down menu of Syslog Category, and
the messages from the Dominion SX unit are sent to the selected
channel (for example, Local5) of the Syslog server.
