Description

This command creates a new output definition. The stack uses the
definition to send event messages to a device on your network. You can
create up to nineteen output definitions.

Note

This version of the AT-S63 Management Software supports only
syslog servers as output definitions.

Note

The stack must communicate with a syslog server through a local
network or subnet that has a routing interface. The stack uses the IP
address of the interface as its source address when sending packets
to the server. For instructions on how to add a routing interface to
the stack, refer to “ADD IP INTERFACE” on page 392.

After creating a output definition with this command, you must customize it
by defining which event messages you want the stack to send. You can
customize a definition so that the stack sends all of its event messages or
limit it to just a selection of events from particular modules in the AT-S63
Management Software. Customizing a definition is accomplished with
“ADD LOG OUTPUT” on page 236 or “SET LOG OUTPUT” on page 251.

Note

The default configuration for a new output definition is no event
messages. The stack does not send events until you customize the
definition.

The OUTPUT parameter specifies the ID number for the new output
definition. The range is 2 to 20. Every definition must have a unique ID
number.

The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address of the syslog server.
