Configuration
232 AlterPath KVM/net Installation, Administration, and User’s Guide
The top of the form is used to tell the KVM/net where to send syslog
messages:
• You can specify one facility number for messages from AUXports and
another facility number for messages from KVM ports.
Obtain the facility numbers to use from the syslog server’s administrator.
See “To Add a Syslog Server [Wizard]” on page 158 for how syslogging is
configured for the KVM/net under the Configuration>General form. You
can specify the same or different syslog servers and the same or duplicate
facility numbers according to your site’s configuration.
• You can send syslog messages to the console port (for logging the
messages even if no user is logged in); to all sessions where the root user is
logged in, or to one or more syslog servers.
• You can add or delete entries for syslog servers.
The bottom of the form has check boxes for specifying which types of
messages are forwarded based on the following criteria:
• Their severity level: “Emergency,” “Alert,” “Critical,” “Error,” “Warning,”
“Notice,” “Info,” “Debug”
• Their category “KVM”, “AUX”, “Data Buffering”, “Web”, or “System”
log messages.
