6. Refer to the Message Logging field to define how the profile logs system events. It’s important

7. Refer to the System Event Messages section to define or override how controller or service
platform system messages are logged and forwarded on behalf of the profile.
Enable Message Logging
Select this option to enable the profile to log system events to a log file or a syslog server. Selecting
this check box enables the rest of the parameters required to define the profile’s logging
configuration. This option is disabled by default.
Remote Logging Host

logged system events can be sent on behalf of the profile. Select
Clear
as needed to remove an IP
address.
Facility to Send Log
Messages
Use the drop-down menu to specify the local server (if used) for profile event log transfers.
Syslog Logging Level
Event severity coincides with the syslog logging level defined for the profile. Assign a numeric
identifier to log events based on criticality. Severity levels include 0 - Emergency, 1 - Alert, 2 -
Critical, 3 - Errors, 4 - Warning, 5 - Notice, 6 - Info and 7 - Debug. The default logging level is 4.
Console Logging Level
Event severity coincides with the syslog logging level defined for the profile. Assign a numeric
identifier to log events based on criticality. Severity levels include 0 - Emergency, 1 - Alert, 2 -
Critical, 3 - Errors, 4 - Warning, 5 - Notice, 6 - Info and 7 - Debug. The default logging level is 4.
Buffered Logging Level
Event severity coincides with the syslog logging level defined for the profile. Assign a numeric
identifier to log events based on criticality. Severity levels include 0 - Emergency, 1 - Alert, 2 -
Critical, 3 - Errors, 4 - Warning, 5 - Notice, 6 - Info and 7 - Debug. The default logging level is 4.
Time to Aggregate
Repeated Messages
Define the increment (or interval) system events are logged on behalf of the profile. The shorter the
interval, the sooner the event is logged. Either define an interval in Seconds
(0 - 60) or Minutes (0 -1). The default value is 0 seconds.
Forward Logs to Controller
Select the check box to define a log level for forwarding event logs. Log levels include Emergency,
Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info and Debug. The default logging level is Error.
Event System Policy
Select an Event System Policy from the drop-down menu. If an appropriate policy does not exist,
select the Create button to make a new policy.
Enable System Events
Select the Enable System Events check box to allow the profile to capture system events and
append them to a log file. It’s important to log individual events to discern an overall pattern that
may be negatively impacting controller or service platform performance. This setting is enabled by
default.
Enable System Event
Forwarding
Select the Enable System Event Forwarding radio button to forward system events to another
controller, service platform or cluster member. This setting is enabled by default.
