Syslog management
Syslog is a standard for forwarding log messages over IP to devices configured to receive them. Entries
in Syslog files are effective for monitoring failures in real time because devices write error conditions to
Syslog files and most network infrastructure devices can be configured to forward Syslog entries to
management systems such as IMC.
You can receive Syslog entries from managed devices and to review, filter, and generate alarms and
notifications based on the Syslog entries received.
Syslog management is most effective when all devices in the network infrastructure are configured to
forward Syslog messages to IMC and IMC is configured to manage all of the devices that are configured
to forward Syslog messages to it. Syslog entries that IMC receives from unmanaged devices (by default)
are filtered out.
You can configure filtering policies and rules to filter out undesired Syslog messages. For more
information about configuring the filtering policy, see "
To effectively use IMC as a Syslog server and a source for managing and displaying Syslog event
information, you must first configure all devices to forward Syslog entries to IMC. Refer to each vendor's
support documentation for information on how to configure their devices to forward Syslog entries to a
management system. Then, you must also add all devices (Syslog sources) to IMC. For more information
about adding and managing devices in IMC, see "
." For information on the
filtering out traps from unmanaged devices, see "

Syslog overview
You have full visibility into all Syslog events received by IMC. With IMC, you can view all Syslog events
from a single window.
From the Browse Syslog view, you can drill down to the Device Details view for the devices that generated
the Syslog entry. The Device Details page provides access to monitor and manage the devices that
generated the Syslog entry.
