Syslog

Syslog is a standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network. The MAS
platform optionally supports syslog over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for
the delivery of logs and alarm history to one or more syslog server
destinations.

To enable or disable syslog delivery, use the Delivery of SYSLOG property
(found in the Nortel MAS Console). To configure one or more syslog server
destinations, use the SYSLOG Destination Server List property (found in the
Nortel MAS Console). You can enter the syslog server host name or IP
address; separate each entry with a semicolon.

Event logs

Event logs provide a historical view of events that occur on the system. Event
logs are delivered to all configured destinations, which may include the MAS
management console, syslog destinations, SNMP destinations, and the local
Microsoft Event Viewer. The system automatically archives and rotates the
logs as needed.

Every log is assigned one of the following severities: Error, Warning, or
Informational. Errors are the most severe and provide further details on alarm
conditions. Warnings are less severe and are generated for events such as
raising or clearing an alarm. Informational logs are the least severe and
provide indication of processing, such as new connections initialized for each
component during startup.
