Setting Syslog Facility Code
This feature adds a facility code to the entries when they are sent to the
syslog server. The facility level is a way for you to add a numerical code to
each entry to help you group entries on the syslog server according to the
module or system that produced them. This grouping helps you determine
which events belong to which device when a syslog server is collecting
events from several network devices. You can specify only one facility
code.
To specify the facility code of the syslog server, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select Administration.
The Administration Menu, shown in Figure 27 on page 68, is
displayed.
2. From the Administration Menu, select Syslog Facility Code field and
enter the facility code of the syslog server.
There are two approaches to using this feature. The first is to use the
default code setting “0” which is based on the functional groupings
defined in the RFC 3164 standard. The numerical codes that are
applicable to the AT-S70 management software and its modules are
shown in Table 2.
