72 Configuring Your System and Network
Setting Up the Remote System Log
You can redirect a copy of the system log to a specified server. This
redirection lets you manage a central location for the event log instead of
working with different interfaces or systems.
Note To receive the log messages from the NAS server, you must
enable remote system-log capabilities on your UNIX system.
First, add the -r option as part of the syslogd daemon's startup
parameter. Then, restart the syslog service. You also need to
plan for the appropriate amount of log space on your UNIX
system. See your operating system documentation for
additional help in modifying your syslogd daemon parameters.
To define a server to receive the remote system log:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to Alerts/Logging, then select Remote System
Log.
3 Select Actions > Edit Remote Server.
4 In the Remote UNIX System Log Address field, enter the name or IP
address of the remote server to which you want to redirect the system log.
(If the field is left blank, this feature is disabled.)
5 Click OK.
Note Remote System Log information is optional. A blank field does
not affect the functionality of the device.
If a monitored environmental item or activity is running out of specification,
an alert/trap is sent to the remote system log.
See Appendix B, SNMP Trap Definitions for a list of the traps sent by the NAS
server.
