Creating SYSLOG clients

When setting up a SYSLOG client, you first define the IP address to which the SYSLOG server is to send the messages. Do this in the LANconfig configuration by clicking on Log & Trace > General, then in the SYSLOG pane click on SYSLOG servers, and then click Add or Edit. Set the IP address and optionally specify a different source IP address. To do this, select which of the internal LANCOM sources are to send messages to this SYSLOG client. You can further restrict the volume of messages by selecting certain priorities, for example only alarm and error messages.





With the factory settings, the table of SYSLOG clients is set up to display important events which are relevant to diagnostics, and to save these to the internal SYSLOG memory. The following screenshot shows these pre-defined SYSLOG clients under LANconfig:





Note: Further information about the meaning of the pre-defined SYSLOG clients and the update options for existing LANCOM devices are to be found in the section "Table of SYSLOG clients" for the configuration of SYSLOG via telnet or WEBconfig.
