Event Messages D-

• Unusual - An event that should not happen in the normal

operation, but from which the system should be able to

recover

• Common - A normal event that does not happen frequently

• Verbose - A normal occurrence that happens frequently

• Debug - For debugging purposes only

You can configure whether event messages are sent to a logging

sink according to the level of the message. For example, if you

wanted to see only the Unusual and Critical events messages

generated by the Telnet facility, you would set the event level

threshold for Telnet to Unusual.

Use the following command to list NETServer facilities and their

default log levels:

list facilities

Using Syslog

This section describes how to configure the NETServer to send

event messages to the syslog hosts you define.

Note that you don't have to log to a separate file, but it can be

convenient.

Configuring Syslog Hosts on the NETServer

You can define separate syslog hosts to which event messages

are logged according to the event logging level associated with

the message. For example, you might configure a syslog host to

log event messages with a Critical logging level only, while

another syslog host logs event messages that are Unusual or

Critical.

To configure a syslog host use the following CLI command:

add syslog <ip name or address> <loglevel>

<ip name or address> is the name or IP address of the syslog

host to which you want to send event messages.
