Appendix D
Event Messages
This appendix includes information about the NETServer event
message facility that logs event messages to a syslog host,
console, or local flash file. This appendix provides some event
message examples that include descriptions of the message and
suggested action you can take to correct problems.
Event Logging
The NETServer event logging system logs important
information about NETServer processes to a number of logging
sinks. Logging sinks are destinations to which event information
is sent (for example, a console or syslog host) in the form of
event messages.
The NETServer is capable of logging event information to:
• syslog host(s)
• a console (local)
• a local flash file
Syslog Host Event Logging
You can use the syslog daemon process to log NETServer events
to one or more remote hosts. The event messages are sent to a
syslog server system via UDP using port number 514, which is
the standard UDP port for syslog messages.
