Assigning internal LANCOM sources to SYSLOG facilities

The SYSLOG protocol uses certain designations for message sources, the so-called facilities. Each internal source in the LANCOM devices that can generate a SYSLOG message must therefore be assigned to a SYSLOG facility.

The standard mapping can be changed, if necessary. In this way you can, for example, send all SYSLOG messages from a LANCOM with a specific facility (Local7). It is thus possible to collect all LANCOM messages in a common log file by configuring the SYSLOG client appropriately.

Under Log & Trace > General in the section SYSLOG under Facility mapping, the internal LANCOM sources can be assigned to the corresponding SYSLOG facilities.
