Configuring loggingSyslog serverA Syslog server is a remote server that receives logging messages using Syslog protocol. Thisenables storage of large log files, which you can use to generate reports. You can define up tothree Syslog servers.To define and configure a Syslog server:1. To define the Syslog server, type the set logging server command, followed by the IPaddress of the server.2. To enable the Syslog server, type the set logging server enable command, followedby the IP address of the Syslog server. When you define a new Syslog server, it is definedas disabled, so you must use this command in order to enable the server.3. To define an output facility for the Syslog server, type the set logging serverfacility command, followed by the name of the output facility and the IP address of theSyslog server. (This step is optional.) The following is a list of possible facilities:auth (Authorization)daemon (Background System Process)clkd (Clock Daemon)clkd2 (Clock Daemon)mail (Electronic Mail)local0 – local7 (For Local Use)ftpd (FTP Daemon)kern (Kernel)alert (Log Alert)audi (Log Audit)ntp (NTP Subsystem)lpr (Printing)sec (Security)syslog (System Logging)uucp (Unix-to-Unix Copy Program)news (Usenet news)user (User Process)The following example defines the FTP Daemon as the output facility for Syslog reportsgenerated by the Syslog server with the IP address 168.12.1.15:set logging server facility ftpd 168.12.1.154. To limit access to the Syslog server output, type the set logging serveraccess-level command, followed by an access level (read-only, read-write, or admin).Only messages with the appropriate access level are sent to the Syslog output.To disable a Syslog server, type the set logging server disable command, followed bythe IP address of the Syslog server.66 Administration of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway
