syslogformat Specifies the format of the generated messages. The
possible options are:
extended Messages include the date, time, and
system name. This is the default.
normal Messages do not include the date, time,
and system name.
Description
This command creates a new output definition. The switch 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.
After creating a output definition with this command, you must customize it
by defining which event messages you want the switch to send. You can
customize a definition so that the switch 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 250 or “SET LOG OUTPUT” on page 265.
Note
The default configuration for a new output definition is no event
messages. The switch 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.
The FACILITY parameter adds a numerical code to the entries as they are
sent to the syslog server. You can use this code to group entries on the
syslog server according to the management module or switch that
produced them. This is of particular value when a syslog server is
collecting events from several difference network devices. You can specify
only one facility level for a syslog server definition.
There are two approaches to using this parameter. The first is to use the
DEFAULT option. At this setting, the code is based on the functional
groupings defined in the RFC 3164 standard. The codes that are
applicable to the AT-S63 management software and its modules are
shown in Table 7.
