Examples of Syslog servers available as shareware on the Internet:
 Kiwi Enterprises: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/

A typical Syslog server application enables filtering of the messages according to priority,
IP sender address, time, date, etc.
14.3.2 Operation
The Syslog client, embedded in the Mediant 1000, sends error reports/events generated by
the Mediant 1000 unit application to a Syslog server, using IP/UDP protocol.
¾ To activate the Syslog client on the Mediant 1000, take these 5
steps:
1. Set the parameter ‘EnableSyslog’ to 1 (refer to Table 5-36 on page 171).
2. Use the parameter ‘SyslogServerIP’ to define the IP address of the Syslog server you
use (refer to Table 5-36 on page 171).
3. Use the parameter 'SyslogServerPort' to define the port number of the Syslog server
(refer to Table 5-36 on page 171).
4. To determine the Syslog logging level use the parameter ‘GWDebugLevel’ (refer to
Table 5-7 on page 80).
5. To enable the gateway to send log messages that report certain types of Web actions
according to a pre-defined filter use the parameter ‘ActivityListToLog’ (described in
Table 5-36 on page 171).
