Logging
The PT22 supports logging of system events both internally and externally. An internal log of more
than 4000 events is automatically maintained and is reviewable by administrative users. For
permanent/long-term log storage, the unit supports the Syslog protocol. And for immediate notification,
the unit supports Email notifications.
Log entries include a sequential entry number, a date/time stamp and an event message. The event
message is preceded with a message ‘type’ heading and if the event is tied to a user, the username will
be included.
NOTE: For date/time stamp support, the SNTP server support must be configured.
The PT22 supports the following event message headers:
 AUTH: All authentication attempts.
 POWER: All power state change requests.
 CONFIG: All system configuration changes.
 EVENT: All general system events. Example: over/under threshold event.
Internal System Log
The internal system log is stored in the local memory and has support for up to 4097 continuously aging
entries. The internal system log is only available to administrative users.
Syslog
The PT22 Syslog support is RFC3164-compliant and enables off-unit viewing and storage of log
messages. The unit supports external logging to up to two Syslog servers.
