Logging using syslog

Enter the IP addresses of up to four Syslog receiver hosts.

The number of packets sent to each configured host will be displayed next to its IP address.

A configurable value for the purposes of identifying events from the IP VCR on the Syslog host. Choose from the following options:

• 0 - kernel messages
• 1 - user-level messages
• 2 - mail system
• 3 - system daemons
• 4 - security/authorization messages (see Note 1)
• 5 - messages generated internally by syslogd
• 6 - line printer subsystem
• 7 - network news subsystem
• 8 - UUCP subsystem
• 9 - clock daemon (see Note 2)
• 10 - security/authorization messages (see Note 1)
• 11 - FTP daemon
• 12 - NTP subsystem
• 13 - log audit (see Note 1)
• 14 - log alert (see Note 1)
• 15 - clock daemon (see Note 2)
• 16 - local use 0 (local0)
• 17 - local use 1 (local1)
• 18 - local use 2 (local2)
• 19 - local use 3 (local3)
• 20 - local use 4 (local4)
• 21 - local use 5 (local5)
• 22 - local use 6 (local6)
• 23 - local use 7 (local7)

Choose a value that you will remember as being the IP VCR.

Note 1 - Various operating system daemons and processes have been found to utilize Facilities 4, 10, 13 and 14 for security/authorization, audit, and alert messages which seem to be similar.

Note 2 - Various operating systems have been found to utilize both Facilities 9 and 15 for clock (cron/at) messages.

Processes and daemons that have not been explicitly assigned a Facility value may use any of the "local use" facilities (16 to 21) or they may use the "user-level" facility (1) - and these are the values that you can select.
