Table 159 Syslog Configuration attributes - SM
Attribute
Meaning
Syslog Configuration
Source
This control determines whether the SM will attempt to use the syslog
server definition from the AP, or whether it will use a local server
definition.
When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable,
and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the syslog server
defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it will syslog to its
locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any.
When set to Local only the SM ignores the AP’s definition of the syslog
server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for
each SM.
Syslog DNS Server
Usage
To configure the SM to append or not the DNS server name to the
syslog server name.
Syslog Server
The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address.
Syslog Server Port
The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent.
Syslog Transmission
Controls the SMs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to
“Learn from AP” the AP will control whether this SM transmits syslog
messages. When set to “enable” or “disable” the SM will control
whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override
the AP settings for individual SMs in a sector.
Syslog Minimum
Level Source
This control determines whether the SM attempts to use the minimum
syslog level defined by the AP, or whether it uses a local defined value
using the “Syslog Minimum Level” parameter.
When set to “AP preferred, use local when AP configuration
unavailable”, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the
Syslog Minimum Level defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register
then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting.
When set to “Local only” the SM will always use its own Syslog
Minimum Level setting and ignores the AP’s setting.
