Logging of System Events. MultiTech has built SysLog Server
functionality into the software of the MultiVOIP units. SysLog is a de
facto standard for logging events in network communication systems.
The SysLog Server resides in the MultiVOIP unit itself. To implement
this functionality, you will need a SysLog client program (sometimes
referred to as a “daemon”). SysLog client programs, both paid and
freeware, can be obtained from Kiwi Enterprises, among other firms.
See www.kiwisyslog.com . SysLog client programs essentially give you
a means of structuring console messages for convenience and ease of
use.
MultiTech Systems does not endorse any particular SysLog client
program. SysLog client programs by any qualified provider should
suffice for use with MultiVOIP units. Kiwi’s brief description of their
SysLog program indicates the typical scope of such programs. “Kiwi
Syslog Daemon is a freeware Syslog Daemon for the Windows
platform. It receives, logs, displays and forwards Syslog messages from
hosts such as routers, switches, Unix hosts and any other syslog
enabled device. There are many customizable options available.”
